Verse of the Day: John 6:37 NKJV
“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out”
The promise of Christ’s acceptance has no expiration. It isn’t limited to our first approach to Him, nor does it fade with time. The assurance we find in Scripture is emphatic: "I will never, ever cast out." This means that just as Christ welcomes us when we first believe, He continues to embrace us throughout our journey, no matter what.
But what if we stumble after coming to Him? The Word assures us that "If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the righteous." And if we stray from our path? God promises, "I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away." What about when we face overwhelming temptation? "God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will provide a way of escape."
What comfort these words bring! They are not excuses to live carelessly but we find assurance of His love in them. The grace in His promise, "I will never cast out," is truly unfathomable.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unwavering promise to never reject those who come to You. In moments of weakness, when I falter or stray, remind me of Your endless grace and faithfulness. Help me to rest in the assurance that nothing can separate me from Your love.
