--WELCOME
-TO ALL!~~

--Isaiah 55:1-9**- bible
------
HOW people look on the outer appearance, of course, is not an indicator of what is in their hearts. God's focus is on the inner life of people. He looks far below the surface of someone's appearance (1 Sam. 16:7) and that's what He desires for us to do as well. He also knows the hearts of those who appear to be "righteous" but are "full of hypocrisy" on the inside (Matt. 23:28).

God's message of welcome, which we are to show to others, is clear. He says to all who seek Him: "Everyone who thirsts, come to the water of life." (Isa 55:1)

-Thank You, Lord, that You welcome all into Your family,
and you have welcomed me. Show me how
to be as accepting of others as You are.
May I reveal Your heart of love. ~~- prayer

-No one will know what you mean when you say, "God is love" --unless you show it. Let Christ shine through you, for His glory!

-ISAIAH 55:1-9*** (NIV)~~

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk.
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to Me; hear Me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
See, I have made him a witness to the peoples.
Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,
because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel,for
He has endowed you with splendor."

Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
