Joe and I ate at Après Diem last week on his birthday. During the meal we got tickled because when we would place our knife on our plate it would start moving. We finally figured out that the silverware was magnetic and the knives and forks were being drawn together. Magnetic silverware was a first for us. If anyone knows more about this, please fill us in! In John, Jesus says that God draws people toward him. We call this divine grace that draws us even before we know God, prevenient grace. Not everyone I know was blessed to have been raised in the church and they may not still know the blessings that come from being part of a great church family. Yet that doesn’t mean they don’t have God in their lives. It may not be to the fullest, but it is a start. We don’t have to introduce people to God. God is already there. We just need to help them recognize the value of developing that relationship.
Thank you Lord for drawing us to you even before we ourselves know you. Help us to sense your presence in our lives and in the lives of others. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
