Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
Have you ever walked along the west side of a river, or lake, or the ocean, and watched the moon rise? I have often, in Kenya, at Malindi on the Indian Ocean coast. Between where you stand and the moon is a shimmering path of light. Then if you walk along the beach, that path of light moves with you, so that always from whatever spot where you stand there is a path of light leading direct to the moon.
From where you stand at this moment there is a path that leads direct to Jesus, the Savior. He is our Son of man but He is also the Son of God, and God is infinite. He has billions of people on earth to care for, but being infinite He cares for you as if you were the only one on earth. The sun, the moon, rises for YOUR benefit; the Father of our Lord Jesus is YOUR Father. No matter what mistakes or sins you are guilty of, there is your Savior meeting you right where you are. "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out," is His assurance (John 6:37).
Not one person who reads this is sinless; all have fallen. But His business is receiving sinners. Our job is to believe it. And that believing is for sure the most difficult task we have; we have all been born and nurtured in unbelief. Israel could not enter the Promised Land because of unbelief. Nothing but unbelief will keep any soul out of heaven at last (read Heb. 3:7-19, and 6:1-6, etc.). And Jesus says the same thing in John 3:14-19. This is why we are always to pray the prayer of that distraught father, "Lord, I believe; help Thou my unbelief" (Mark 9:23, 24).
You don't want to be proud and arrogant, for that is the lethal sin of "the angel of the church of the Laodiceans" (Rev. 3:14-17). Come to Jesus but remember there is no path that leads to Him but repentance and humbleness of heart. Two heavenly commodities not seen much in society or even the church, but available in Heaven's Supermarket, and they are yours for free for the receiving.
