Unstoppable

An old monk and a small boy were walking by a river.  Suddenly, they saw a scorpion in the water, holding onto a leaf, struggling for its life.  The old monk bent over and reached for the scorpion.  But every time his hand tried to save it, the scorpion stung him.  Still, the old man kept trying, yet every time he tried holding onto the scorpion, it bit him.  His hand was now swollen but he still kept trying to save the scorpion.

The little boy said, “Sir, why are you still trying to save it?  It’s biting you!”

The old monk replied, “It’s in the nature of the scorpion to bite.  But it’s in my nature to save.”

Friend, that monk is like God.  It’s His nature to save, to love, to bless.  And we’re that scorpion that bites the hand of God.  He’s saving us from our sin yet we reject it by continuing to sin.

But God keeps on saving us anyway.

He’s love for you in unstoppable.

A day will come when we will “graduate” from being a scorpion.  By His Grace, we’ll be transformed.  And we will no longer sting Him or others.

How do I know this will happen?

Because God’s Love is unstoppable.

Receive love from Him today!

May your dreams come true,

How Can I Be Saved?
Outrageous Grace

Luke 9:23-24
If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.

Luke 19:2-10
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.  A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.  He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd.  So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.  When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today."  So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.  All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.'"  But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."  Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.  For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
