I often joke that my "thing" is having a ridiculously good memory. Sometimes it seems more of a curse than a blessing, but today it is definitely a blessing as I look back and remember the day I chose to follow Jesus. Someone asked me recently what I thought their "thing" is. I didn't respond at the time, but my honest and instinctive thought was faithfulness. It is a very attractive quality, especially in a fragmented and self-serving world.
Over the last twenty years I have not been as faithful in following Jesus as I would have hoped or expected, but despite this God has been remained faithful to me and for me that has always been enough.
But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.
Luke 15:20
