Unrepentant Heart

20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. [e] If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."
Matthew 11:20-24

Don’t you know today that Jesus is wooing you, just as He wooed the towns of Chorazin, Bethsaida, Tyre and Sidon so many years ago. Jesus is performing small miracles in your life in order that you would notice Him and repent and turn from living for yourself to living for God. I was traveling with a colleague a few weeks ago who said that he felt like God was allowing him to experience certain things in his life in order to get his attention, small things and chance meetings with God’s people throughout the day seemed to be happening more often than not in his life. God may also be wooing you through the touch of His comforting Spirit or through the sweet sound of a bird song in the morning or through the beauty of a sunset. I remember vividly as a young man struggling with the brokenness of a dysfunctional family and hurting badly on the inside when the Lord spoke to me through the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen. As I sat on the empty bleachers and watched in amazement, I could feel God’s peace in the innermost parts of my soul and I felt the touch of His comforting Spirit that let me know that everything was going to be okay and that He loved me more than I could ever imagine. Is God wooing you? How are you going to respond? Are you going to respond like the people of Chorazin or Bethsaida, or are you going to accept this most awesome gift of Jesus Christ into your heart and life in order that you would start living your life for His purposes and not your own? I would suggest the latter as you will encounter a life and a love like no other, that will last forever! Respond to Jesus today, surrender your heart and life to Him.
