Matthew 21:29
It is very common to find one who turns from God in their early years and then comes to him later. Some run from the Lord because they don’t understand how he could love them. Some do it because they never understand the fullness of his forgiveness. For others, it is simply rebellion, but they mellow out later. All of these things are bad, to be sure, but the individual comes around in the end in each case. The good part of such a situation is that, when they do come around, these individuals generally realize just how bad they really are. Forgiveness sinks in and makes a change in them.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to serve You. We easily take for granted the fact that You give us the days of our lives to serve You and follow Your commands. We think of our lives more as ours, but it all belongs to You. Father, thank You for being so loving, gracious, and kind. You are so good to us! May we praise You as we should for You are worthy. Praise the Lord! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
