Me: We are alone, shoot straight with me. What do you think?

Prodigal: Sometimes we have to get alone to have that private conversation and those can be good.

Me: That is what I choose now.

Prodigal: Let me share a story as my answer.

This is from the book Joy In Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon

Jesus Christ does not save the worthy, but the unworthy. Your plea must not be righteousness, but guilt. And, though you are ashamed of yourself, Jesus is not ashamed of you, for you are a child of God. Though you feel unfit to come, let your unfitness only urge you on with a greater earnestness of desire. Let your sense of need make you more fervent to approach the Lord, who can supply your need.

O, my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. Song 2:14

Jennifer Van Allen
