Leave no one behind

Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
Acts 10:34-35 (NKJV)

We serve a God that isn't a respecter of personalities. He deals with all his creation with grace particularly those who fear Him and works righteousness. Peter like the Jews of the time operated in an aura of superiority never regarding other folks that wasn't from his own. The trance he fell into exposed this arrogance and he was instructed to never call any one common or unclean. In our society today it is easy to slice and dice people based on our own classifications - sinner, adulterer, fornicators, liars, rapist, killers, swindlers, homosexuals, etc.

and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)

If any of these will forsake their ways and seek the face of the Lord in reverence, then they become the apple of God's eye as it is His intent and desire that all these come to repentance. In His Kingdom, everyone is welcome. Leave no one behind. Those who are His will heed to the call sooner or later.

Be encouraged,
