Greetings,
People have parties for all kinds of reasons: Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, pregnancies, holidays...
I myself have celebrated the day I met my children's significant others, the first date Jorge and I had - March 28, 1985 - and once we even had a little get-together in honor of my son-in-law's arrival to our great nation!
But there is one type of party that is so significantly grand that all other parties pale in comparison.
Luke 15:10 "God's angels throw a party every time one lost soul turns to God" (The Message Version).
When even one person changes their old way of thinking and doing things and lives their life in a way that shows this beautiful change and seeks God's purpose for their life, the angels CELEBRATE!
I can just imagine the gold confetti, shimmering white balloons, angel food cake, of course, fireworks, and tears of happiness. They celebrate because they know things are going to be better, blessings will flow, and joy will abound. Most importantly, one more soul has gone from death unto life and will join them in the eternal goodness and presence of the Lord. Sin and sorrow will be gone forever. Amen.
The day you and I turned to God there was an angelic assembly in our honor, and one of our missions in life must be to pray so the angels can have as many parties as possible.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You that the angels had a party for us. One day we will see just how spectacular it was. Right now we pray for those who are struggling to turn to You. Draw them near so they too can have positive change and divine guidance for their lives. In Jesus' name, AMEN~
