Give Him Your . . . .

One time on a Sunday Jesus sent two apostles to the next town over to borrow a colt, promising to return it. Before the sun set the next Sunday, Jesus had conquered death, hell and the grave by resurrecting from the dead.

Mark 11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

That donkey left unbroken and untried. It returned ready for the saddle. The Lord takes what we give Him and gives it back far better. 

• Give Him your Abram, a lost pagan, and He will give you back an Abraham, a mighty man of faith.
• Give Him your Jacob, a schemer and a trickster, and He will give you back an Israel, a Prince of God.
• Give Him your Saul of Tarsus, a mean, cruel man, and He will give you back a Paul, a mighty Apostle of God.
• Give Him your Simon, a weak, vacillating man, and He will give you back a Peter, a rock for Jesus.
• Give Him your broken sin-scarred life, and He will give you back a new start, a new life, and a home in Heaven.
