As I proudly held my newest grandchild yesterday, I wondered how our Father in Heaven feels when someone first believes in Christ. I tried to picture Him holding the new believer, His new child, in His arms. With a big grin on His face, He gently plays with the toes and fingers checking to see if they are all there.
This may sound ridiculous, but I am sure He is pleased with each new birth! The bible tells us in Luke 15:10, " I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.” It's like a big baby shower! All rejoicing over one new believer. I want to be a part of that party.
In a way, I can. Just by sharing my story and God's story with others, leading them to accept Jesus as the Savior, I am a part of the birthing process. Let's rejoice and bring people to Jesus!
Proud Grandpa!
