Jesus never met:
* a disease he could not cure,
* a birth defect he could not reverse,
* a demon he could not exorcise.
But he did meet:
* skeptics he could not convince and
* sinners he could not convert.
Forgiveness of sins requires an act of will on the receiver’s part, and some who heard Jesus’ strongest words about grace and forgiveness turned away unrepentant.
–Philip Yancey
Jesus can do amazing things in our lives if only we will choose to let Him work in us. Too many people resist the Lordship of Christ, they turn away from His grace and forgiveness, and they lose the opportunity to experience the abundant life He promised. Don’t resist what Christ desires to do in your life, even though it will require that you relinquish your will and your ways over to His control.
