30 Days of Gratitude - Day 18 - KLOVE

Just wanted to say thanks to KLOVE radio station for making me cry this day, but all for a good reason. If you really know me, I am rarely able to cry tears of sorrow, only tears of joy! Oh joy it is too!  I am not even sure how the call started out, why the guy called in; but I heard the new morning DJ either Craig or Kankelfritz ask the caller “Todd” if he could ask him a question to see where he was at spiritually. The guy agreed. The DJ said, “If you were to stand before God today and He asked you why should I let you into My heaven, what would you say?” The guy replied that he didn’t know. That he wasn’t the most righteous person, and the most faithful and in about in time I didn’t even believe in God about a couple months ago and I was even a devil worshipper. Then the DJ said would you like to know how for sure that you are going to heaven? He said, he would like that more than anything. The DJ went on to share with him how we have all missed the mark, even Billy Graham, that we all are imperfect. We’ve all sinned. Lied, stolen (stolen from employers, cheated on taxes, value doesn’t matter), etc…he went on to share the plan of salvation and then asked if he wanted to pray to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior today. He said, yes!!

God’s grace comes to us free and clear, with no strings attached. Unworthy. Undeserving.  Flawed we are, but out of His abundance He gave the most precious gift! His only Son. Can you imagine giving your child, who did no wrong, to receive punishment for others who have done wrong? It’s all grace. Unmerited grace. One grace after another…spiritual blessing…upon spiritual blessing…favor upon favor…and gift upon gift. Praise to the Trinity!
