Invite Yourself

"For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son," Colossians 1:13
 
"If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning... Face it, friend. He is crazy about you! " Max Lucado
 
Have you ever uninvited yourself from an event, a party, a rest? Deemed yourself unworthy? Maybe you thought you wouldn't fit in, so you mentally crossed yourself off the list. You came up with all kinds of reasons....
 
I don't have kids or grandkids to talk about.....
I am not in that social group.....
I'm not smart enough.....
I can't make witty conversation.....
I am not attractive enough......
I don't have a great career....
I am single....divorced.....my marriage is rocky.....blah blah blah
 
God says you are royalty. Jesus thought you were worth dying for and even now, He is interceding for you before the Father. The Holy Spirit makes His home within you. God says you are all that!
 
So, give yourself a break today. Invite yourself to the party. Carve out an hour or so of rest. Get dressed up and wear the hat. Know that you are worthy of going to Buckingham Palace. Envision yourself waiting to meet the Queen at the Garden Party. I bet if you think hard enough, you can find someone in your life who thinks you are just wonderful the way you are, perfect in fact......God does.
 

 
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17
