TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Rom 5:6-8

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
NIV
Although many great men of God have determined this right time as a moment in history when mankind was at its worst and it was the best time to have God show his love and redemptive power by sending his Son, I cannot help but to think of this as the exact right time in my life. It was a time when I was powerless to save myself from the inevitable end of my human life. The fact is, I was doomed. It was a time in my life when I was certainly looking away from God. This was no doubt a time when I would not say, but surely was a sinner. I would not admit it but I was an enemy of God. Now being that, God knew it was the exact right timing for him to intervene in my life and bring about the conditions in which he introduced himself to me. His timing was perfect; even though professed all the above, I was ready and open to his invitation. He always operates at just the right time.
Thank you Lord for loving me so much even though I did not love you, and refused to accept anything about you. Thank you Lord for being as kind and forgiving to such a person as who I was. Thank you father for your Son. Thank you for being on time.
