Matthew 18:11
This is his program. This is his work. This is his mission. Conquering the world militarily is no problem for him. Persuading the most intellectual minds is no challenge. Reforming the entire world is not a goal big enough. The tasks that others might undertake would be simple for Christ. No, his task, his goal, is to win the hearts of men. This is the genius of Christ. He can have the whole world anytime he wants it. His power is limitless. His character could inspire anyone, anywhere, anytime. He could mold us to do his every whim. But, he seeks our hearts. He wins us by our own free will. He captivates us in freedom, rather than chains. He binds our hearts to his own, and that without one thread of rope. Closeness to him is the most lifting experience mankind can hope for.

You care for every one of Yours. You know us by name. And You call all humanity to Yourself. You seek every heart. You love all of us. You have us all in Your plan.
