The Extravagant Love that Makes us Acceptable

I always keep a notebook/diary in my handbag so that I can always scribble my thoughts, observations and illustrations that spice my sermons.

This evening as I made my way to Greenspan,I saw a post on Harambee Sacco Estate gate that reads, "...no chokoras (street children)"

Of cos,this made me ask myself few questions? "Who are chokoras? Why is it that they are not allowed in the estate? When we see a chokora in our estates/neighborhood what comes into our minds? When those chokoras read that post,how do they feel?

Jeremiah 1:5, before conception in our mother's womb, God knew us and chose us for a specific task... Each individual has a destiny. At certain seasons of our lives people may/will reject us because of our present circumstances but if we keep our eyes on Jesus we will never be the same. God calls us to come to Him just as we are so that He can transform our lives and conform us to the image of His Son Jesus. He chooses us, not because we deserve. Not because we are clean and well kept but because of His love,grace and mercy.
John 15:16, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. Verse 17. This is my command: Love each other." Jesus chose us because of His extravagant grace, love and mercy.

Amazing Love

I'm forgiven because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well
Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be?
That you, my king. would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
Its my joy to honor you
Amazing love how can it be?
That my king would die for me
Amazing love I know it's true
Its my joy to honor you
In all I do
I honor you
