Just like the wedding feast , we all have an invitation to attend , and I am so thankful that it didn ’ t come with exclusions . Ami Durant

One of the many things I love about God is that He is no respecter of persons when it comes to being able to experience His presence and goodness . Just like the wedding feast , we all have an invitation to attend , and I am so thankful that it didn ’ t come with exclusions . What an honor that truly is !
When I think about the wedding feast , I often think of the many people who didn ’ t show up to be a part of such a beautiful event . Everyone was invited to be a part of this blessing , yet many did not come . That caused me to consider many of our family and friends whom we have invited to feast at God ’ s table , and they either declined the invitation or they decided to get up from His table after getting their plate . How disappointing that can be !
It is natural for those of us that have truly tasted and seen God ’ s goodness to want others to experience that same goodness . Additionally , it can be challenging to watch our loved ones continue to live in bondage when we know that Jesus is the answer to all of their problems . As bad as we may want to see our family and friends delivered , we must remember that we can ’ t play the role of God in people ’ s lives , but we can continue to gently keep inviting them to the table just like God did for us .
