Let no foreigner who has attached himself to the Lord say, ‘The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.’ Let no eunuch say, ‘And I, I am a dried-up tree.’
God is inclusive. Jesus came to save us all. He is the Good Shepherd who leaves His 99 sheep behind and goes after the 100th lost sheep. How can I not feel loved by such a compassionate and merciful God? How can I not do the same as He if I profess to believe in Him? I, too, need to welcome the foreigner, assist the poor and broken-hearted, visit the sick and imprisoned… I need to be just as inclusive as He was. Abba, teach me to be generous as you are to everyone I meet.
