Forgiven

After looking through my backgrounds,

and inverting them this way and that, 

I finally found her!

My tax collector!

In the 9th Chapter of Matthew,

Jesus calls Matthew, a tax collector,

to follow Him.

And Matthew follows.

At Matthew's house, Jesus is surrounded

by other tax collectors and sinners.

Jesus said time and again that he came

for sinners,

not the righteous.

And so he was always in conflict

with the Pharisees, who though more faithful 

to Jewish law,

could not accept His teachings! 

When we realize that we are all sinners,

then we will be more grateful of what 

Jesus did for us.

When we realize how much we need to be forgiven,

then we will be able to love more.

Every week I choose one wonderful

visitor who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

(I know how much time and effort

it takes to leave a comment!

I love to visit but sometimes,

it is such a pain to leave a comment

because of all the word verification

and different passwords, etc.)

This week Random Number Generator

chose Eliza of Queenartoypia

She makes really lovely intricate cards

and collects ATCs.

Eliza chose the woman with the short red hair.
