"The way to open our hearts to others is by receiving afresh the
grace of God and appreciating what it means: seeing our own need of Christ;
coming to receive His mercy; sensing how undeserved His love for us is;
remembering how He has also opened His heart to those whose hearts are closed
against us. Then we will see that the heart which is too narrow to receive a
fellow Christian is too narrow to enthrone the Lord Jesus Christ. But the heart
that is opened to receive the grace of Christ will learn to welcome all those
whom Christ Himself has welcomed."

May each of you sweet readers have a beautiful Thursday...
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Oh, dearest Kelley-Anne, what a beautiful photo of such lovely ladies of yesteryear...makes one want to go back to the slower, more lovely time. And what a wonderful quote! My dear husband and I have heard Sinclair Ferguson at a Ligonier Conference years ago in Orlando, FL, and what a wonderful man of God. And of course (being of Scottish descent), I love his accent. (Did you know that he has written children's books?) What a precious remember to have open hearts and to welcome all those Christ has called to Himself. What an extra special visit today! Hugs, dear friend!
Such a wonderful message in this post and I adore the illustration. Mildred
Oh my, what a precious quote! How thankful I am for the saving grace of Jesus Christ and how blessed we are to have such love poured upon us. Beautiful, my friend, absolutely beautiful! Love to you!
What a thought inspiring quote. It makes me think of the verse that Jesus said to his disciples "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35 .... indeed loving others can be one of the greatest challenges we face as followers of our Lord. May we love as He loved! I loved the sweet picture you chose to go with your quote... may the Lord bless your day sweet Kelly-Anne! :)
