Matchmakers for God

You've heard it before, "I'm not a good person, God couldn't love me." Some people would even wait to become a follower of Jesus once they get all of their ducks in a row, or at least most of them.

Conversely, you may also hear statements such as "How could God have allowed something so horrible to happen?" An event might be enough to keep a person from having any desire to love God, whether God was the cause or not.

I risk wearing out Joe Beam's Your Love Path but loving God from our perspective has a lot to do with the first step of "Attraction". It's natural for people to assume if God is going to love us, we need to make ourselves attractive. Likewise, in order for people to fall in love with God, he needs to be attractive to them.

As the body of Christ, it might be wise to consider how we can be matchmakers and attract people to God. I'm not suggesting that God needs help, but people do.

Lastly, we must be sure we are matching for love, not gain.
