Our Daily Grace: God Loves a Party

"He turns water into wine because He doesn't want the party to end.  That's the kind of Jesus we have. He wants to keep us in the spirit of rejoicing and celebration."

Tony Campolo

"The Lord Almighty will prepare a banquet for all the nations of the world - a banquet of the richest food and the finest wine. Here He will suddenly remove the cloud of sorrow that has been hanging over all the nations.  The Sovereign Lord will destroy death forever!  He will wipe away the tears from everyone's eyes and take away the disgrace His people have suffered throughout the world. The Lord Himself has spoken."

Isaiah 25:6-8

The kingdom of heaven is an absolute party!  It's filled with joy, laughter, music and fun, and God is right in the center of it all.  He is a God who loves having a good time, loves seeing everyone happy and having fun.  He is light-hearted, full of laughs and smiles, the perfect host at the perfect party.  This party is for all people.  Those who feel excluded are always included here.  Those who are sad will have God wipe away their tears.  Those who are disgraced will find themselves graced. Even death itself is trumped by life here, trumped by the Life of the Party!  He wants us to celebrate, because He already has everything taken care of through Christ; it's time to relax and enjoy the party of God!

A thought: God's love and laughter will heal us all!



May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
