Today we read Romans 10. Like a loving father waiting for his children to come home, God yearns to show mercy on all (see Luke 15:11–32). Those who refuse to accept God’s gracious invitation to share in the riches of His grace are accountable to Him for their unbelief. However, Christ Jesus is always near to us in His Word. He stands ready to forgive and renew us. • We praise You, O Lord, for welcoming us through the words of all those who bring to us the Good News of Your love. Place that faith-creating Word on our lips, that we may speak to those who have not yet heard or believed. Amen.
