God reminds us that we have a part to play in his plan to bring restoration into the world. In this part of Acts, we meet Cornelius, a centurion, who was a devout, God-fearing man. Through the story of Cornelius we see how God invites us into his plan when our hearts seek him in faith. Then we hear about Peter and realize that our hearts are not always in agreement with what we think, believe or pray. Often being in line with God's Spirit is inconvenient with our preferences. Facing our disobedience allows us to see God showing us when we aren't in line with his ways. It is through the power of God that Jesus can take hold our hearts and bring reconciliation to the world. God has called you to this city with purpose, is your heart earnestly seeking him?
