Read 1 Corinthians 1:28
No matter where you look—on dark streets, in prisons, in reformatories, even in distant lands—you will find sinners. People who seem lost, broken, or hopeless are everywhere. Yet God’s love reaches to the lowest, the weakest, and the most unlikely. The same grace that calls the upright also calls the despised. Through Jesus, even the worst of humanity can be transformed, made pure, and brought into the family of God. Pebbles in the brook of life can become jewels in His crown. Worthless dross is refined into gold.
This is the beauty of God’s redeeming love: He does not choose people because of their status, their achievements, or their virtue. He chooses them because of His mercy, and through Him, lives are transformed. If you feel unworthy, remember that it is for such as you that Jesus came to seek and save. No one is beyond His reach.
Reflection for Today:Am I trusting in God’s grace to transform my life, even in my weakness? Do I believe His love can reach anyone, no matter how lost?
Prayer:Lord Jesus, thank You that Your love chooses the unworthy and transforms them into treasures for Your kingdom. Help me to trust in Your mercy and to turn to You fully, knowing that You can make me holy and whole. Teach me to see others through Your eyes, and may Your grace shine through my life. Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
