"What has God done for you?" A Christian living in India was asked that very question. Without saying a word, the man gathered some dry leaves and placed a worm in the middle of the pile. He then set the leaves on fire. Just as the worm was about to be engulfed in the flames, the man pulled the worm out and set it on a rock. He then explained, "This is exactly what Jesus Christ did for me."
Think about that. Every person that has ever lived and ever will live is like a worm compared to God. He is SO perfect and holy; we're so small and inadequate, crawling around in the dirt. We wouldn't even be here without Him, yet we continue trying to exist as if we were. Our souls dangle on a thread over hell, but God's hand is RIGHT THERE, waiting for us to take it. And that's precisely all we have to do. In fact, we don't DO anything except for put our faith in Jesus. He already completed everything required.
Psalm 40:1-2 says, "I waited and waited and waited for God. At last He looked; finally He listened. He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn't slip." [The Message.]
I fell into an endless hole, but Jesus rescued me. And I am so grateful that He loved me enough to trade His heart for mine. Are you grateful for your sweet salvation? Thank Him right now.
If you haven't met the infinite love of my Savior, I pray that you'll beg Him to draw your heart to Him.
"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
