Live a "Luke 15" kind of life

I'll never forget that moment of desperation when I thought God hated me.  

I had made LOTS of mistakes.  I had DELIBERATELY lived a lifestyle that I knew wasn't God's best and I found myself in a place that was very far from Him.  To say I felt hopeless would be an understatement.

And then God used Luke 15 to change my life.  Read it, you'll know why.

In that scripture I realized that the price of the cross was enough to bridge the gap between me and God.  I discovered HOPE in Jesus.  It was an incredible moment I will never forget.

Here's the point: Let's live a Luke 15 kind of life.  

When I reflect on these verses, I realize that if we're not about brining hope to people, then we're not about much. If we don't understand God's passion for those far from him, have we missed the point?

What an awesome calling we have to personify and preach Jesus to this world who is in such desperate need of Him!  My prayer is that others like me could discover the hope I found and experience the faith I know. 

Let's live a Luke 15 kind of life.
