This week's devotions from the new devotion book is really good. But what spoke to me most is the devotion on "You're invited". I especially like the way the book illustrated God's invitation to His kingdom using a fridge of gross food items to a great spread of food at a friend's house. Yes, it is indeed a no-brainer. It would be quite obvious to choose the great spread. This seemingly easy choice is in fact a difficult one for many, even people who call themselve christians. Difficult meaning that sometimes we are decieved into believing that the fridge of rotting food could actually benefit us and would still taste equally good.

I think that there is a great need to lead people to see what's truly wonderful at the great spread in comparison to the rotting food. The passage encourages me to be a fisher of men. Right in front of me is a "spread" God has prepared for my benefit and good. I want to share this "spread" with people who have yet tasted His goodness.

Sometimes, I have to admit, being caught up in the busy life, has caused me to lose sight of God's invitation to feast at His table. But God has been ever so faithful to remind me that His invitation is still there, waiting for me. He hasn't cancelled my invitation but waiting for me once again. (:

God invites us into His kingdom with open arms. I do not have to bring expensive gifts, I just have to bring myself to the venue- Our heavenly Father's open arms!

This devotion reminded me that God is always there waiting never forsaking. Let's come to our Father today!

vision

The Joshua Connection youth aims to...

:: Love God with all our hearts, soul, mind and strength (Deut 6:5);
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."

:: Love the body of Christ through fellowship, discipleship and service (1 Cor 12:27; Eph 4:11-13; Gal 5:13);
"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Cor 12:27

"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Eph 4:11-13

"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love." Gal 5:13

:: Love others by sharing the gospel and our lives (Matt 5:14-16; 29:18-20).
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matt 5:14-16

"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt 29:18-20
