Start the PartyЗагвар

Isn’t it true that we often put people in categories? In our minds, there are the people we consider “in” and those we consider “out.” But as Matthew, one of Jesus’ closest followers, reminds us, this isn’t the case with God. Matthew was a tax collector—someone the world would’ve seen as “out” at the time. But Jesus invited Matthew to follow Him just the way he was. Matthew didn’t have to do anything but accept the invitation. Just like that, he was “in.”

Think about the people in your life who you may be seeing as “out.” Ask God to change your heart toward them, reminding you that in Jesus, we’re all “in” at the party.
