Gospel for God’s Children by Linda Shields:
“You Are Invited”
When you receive an invitation to a party, or play day with your friend, don't you feel excited? You dream about the fun you will experience on that special day. What special event will we get to do? The Bounce House, a swim party? A concert? Our minds imagine all kinds of fun events.
But the best thing of all is, your friend wants to spend the special day with you! The friend thought so highly about you that he or she wants to share the fun with you.
Did you know that Jesus feels about you the same way? He is that special friend who is wanting to be with you. He has sent out a special invitation inviting you to come spend time with him, to be his friend.
In the Book of Revelations chapter 3: 20, He says. “Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and will share a meal as friends.”
Can you imagine, the Son of God wants to be your special friend. He is at your hearts door, asking you to accept him as your friend, to be your "best buddy." Unlike our other friends, Jesus, the Bible says "sticks closer than a brother," (Proverbs 18: 24). He will always be faithful and true (Proverbs 17: 17). He will always help and be there for you.
Would you like to accept Jesus invitation to be his friend? Jesus is asking you today. Would you say yes to him?
Dear Jesus, Yes, I want you to be my friend, and I want you to come into my heart. Thank you Jesus, Amen
God Bless
