Always Yes

Always Yes


For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No” but in him it has always been “Yes.”
2 Corinthians 1:19 NIV

Thank you Father, you have said yes. While others continue to discount and ignore me, you always say, “Yes.” When I don't measure up, you still say yes. When loved ones pushed me away, you still said yes. I remember times that I purposefully lived against you. I know I have failed you far too many times, bringing tears to your eyes. I know I have embarrassed you. I know that sometimes I have left you speechless...

When the world told me, "No", you said, "Yes". When I broke your commands and when I ran from "the call", you provided a yes. In spite of all my failings, betrayals and unfaithfulness, you still have the nerve, the strength and the commitment to say yes. By now I should have figured out that with you, it is always yes. When a man such as me calls for you, calls for forgiveness, you say yes. The one thing you can't turn away is a contrite heart (Psalms 51:17), I believe, because there is always a yes in Jesus.
