Rejoicing Over a Sinner

Scripture: Luke 15: [7] I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Observation: When I repented and gave my life to Christ, God and the angels rejoiced. How unbelievable that I matter, that God would even take notice, yet rejoice. A man who lived a sinful life in disregard to God, yet God never gave up on me.

Application: I need to give God more opportunities to rejoice. It’s time to make a much bigger difference in the kingdom by reaching out to those who do not know Him, helping show others the way.

Prayer: My Lord make me useful to You. Show me how to bring others to your saving grace. Open my eyes, ears then mouth to speak to those who don’t know you.
