Bug zapper

by Bruce Wadd

Front porch lights, back veranda lights, car lights, and bug zappers all do the same thing – they attract insects towards them. But bug zappers add the extra dimension of bringing the insect to their death.

I wonder, how close can an insect fly to the zapper before being zapped? Normally you don’t see them flying around for long, because the urge to get closer is so strong.

Jesus is the same way. When we become aware of Him, how He loves us, we are just engrossed by the life-changing possibilities. But will He zap us?

Let me dispel your fears about Jesus. He irresistibly draws you to Himself because He created you. As you spend time getting close to Him you become like Him.

Read a little more about being attracted to God…

“God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him. And as we live with Christ, our love grows more perfect and complete, so we will not be ashamed and embarrassed at the day of judgement,
but can face him with confidence and joy,
because he loves us and we love him too.”

1 John 4:16b, 17

Today, be zapped by Him… and really start living!
