He would like to be Lord of your life. Not just your savior but also your Lord.
Lets not go ahead of our selves. Lets back track a little. Consider Mary the mother of Jesus in Luke 1. Or let's say Hannah in 1 Samuel 1
These ladies were despised, rejected, ridiculed, Hannah's womb was closed by God himself. Mary was told by an angle that she will have child in a culture that cast out any girl unmarried yet with child.
Have you felt ridiculed, ashamed, despised. Miss understood, hated, an outcast and rejected?
Mary and Hannah felt just like you and so do I many times.
Authors you would agree with me that the chunk of space given to a topic determines the level of its significance right?
In the book of Samuel and the book of Luke, only one chapter is allotted to the misery and sorrow these ladies felt in comparison to the space and chapters / celebration given to the story that unfolds later. Did you know that God is for you? There is a bigger picture here?
The question is why? What made the difference for these ladies?
This is the answer. Hannah chose to believe God and Mary chose to say, "Be it unto me according to your word." Your attitude when something goes determines who is Lord.
See what happens centuries later. You and I are celebrating Jesus' birth. What celebrations are you holding back because you don't want Jesus to be Lord? Could that be the reason for pain and suffering today? We have accepted Jesus as Savior only and refused him as Lord? I am speaking to me
