Are You Living With the Pigs?

Are you living with the pigs?  As you can see in the photo, this precious little one is living among the pigs. She is like the billions around the world, each one precious enough that our Creator would send His own Son to die on a Cross, taking the judgment which we so richly deserve. Why?? "For GOD has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord JESUS Christ, Who died for us, so that whether we are awake (still alive when He comes) or asleep (already dead), we will live together with Him." 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 

Why would the King of the universe care about this little girl? It's called LOVE, the same reason He wants to forgive every prodigal (wayward child) who's "living with the pigs" (read Luke 15:11-32). If we are living in sin, contrary to GOD's will for our lives, the Bible likens that to a "sow...wallowing in the mire (mud)" (read 2 Peter 2:22). Someone has put a religious necklace on this child, with the vain hope that some "god" will protect her from danger, but only the Lord JESUS can deliver us from the pig-life of sin, sadness and future judgment, and give us the hope of eternal life. As the prodigal "came to his senses" in Luke 15:17, thinking about his situation and where his life was headed, may we all turn to Him for mercy.
