Not long ago, I was visiting with Minawagii, a Moi woman with a big personality, who loves the Lord. I pointed to a scrawny, mange-ridden dog in our yard, and said, “Ewww, that dog is disgusting. I don’t even like to look at it!” She nonchalantly responded, “Well, I just feel bad for it because it reminds me of how hopeless and disgusting I was in my sin before the Creator God had mercy on me and saved me.”
Later on in the day, I was contemplating what Minawagii said about the dog and the state she was in, the state we were ALL in, before we were rescued by the Lord. Truly, we were disgusting in our condition of sin, but God still loved us and saved us. May we never take for granted the gift of salvation! Thanks, Minawagii, for this reminder.
