Episode 218: Luke 13

Today's meditation is on Luke Chapter 13

I have repented of my sins and turned to God. In God's eyes, there are no better sinners or worse sinners. All have sinned and fallen short of God's best for them. I am no better or worse than anyone else in that regard. 

While anyone else would have given up on me long ago, God is patient. He tenderly cared for me, nourished me, pruned me, and gave me every opportunity to grow and flourish under his tender loving care. 
 
I was in bondage to the enemy, but Jesus released me and set me free and gave me right standing again with Father God.

He taught me that the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. And even though it is the tiniest of all seeds, it grows into a tree large enough for birds to nest in its branches and raise their young. 

It is like yeast. Even though only a small amount is added to flour, it permeates every part of the dough and makes the bread rise. 

He taught me about the Kingdom, because many will try to enter in, but will fail. The way is narrow, and once the master of the house has locked the door it will be too late. So, I will seek the Kingdom and his righteousness above all else, and I will not be left standing outside knocking and pleading. 

I will be in the number of those who come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their place in the Kingdom of God. In that day, those who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then. So I do not try to earn a place of honor among men. My heart and mind are set on the Kingdom of God.

Blessed is Jesus who came in the name of the Lord. He has gathered me to himself. And I am protected under the shadow of his wings.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
