side roads

Friday December 19th, John 1: 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God That is all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time. Being a child of God is a gift of grace, not birthright. Receiving God into your life is not something you accomplish or find, it is a gift of grace. There are many who do not know or want God in their lives, what of them. God loves them too. They also are made in the image of God. They have just chosen not to accept the gift of grace for right now. God will continue to love them until they do. There are many who follow spiritual roads that do not include Christ as the centerline, Grace will find them too. Jesus always seemed to find examples of faith on the side roads.
