Default A Passion for the Forgotten

A Passion for the Forgotten
by Max Lucado

A day late and a dollar short. One brick short of a load. You pick the phrase—the result is the same. Get told enough times that only the rotten fruit gets left in the bin, and you begin to believe it. You begin to believe you are “too little, too late.”

God has a peculiar passion for the forgotten. Have you noticed? See his hand on the skin of the leper? See the face of the prostitute cupped in Jesus’ hands? See him with his arm around little Zacchaeus? God wants us to get the message: What society puts out, God puts in. What the world writes off, God picks up.

Why did He pick you? He wanted to. After all, you are his, and he made you. No matter how long you’ve waited or how much time you’ve wasted, you are his and he has a place for you.

From And The Angels Were Silent

Like the phrase "It is never too late." I found that if I missed a lesson first time around, my God brings me back time and again until I surrender, accept, and find the willingness to learn.

I am glad He didn't give up on me. I was 49 when I found the doors of recovery. I am even more grateful He still doesn't give up on me in today. Grateful that this is a one day at a time program, just for today, I choose not to use.
