When my friend was younger, he decided it would be fun to sneak up and scare his grandpa. When he arrived at grandpa’s house he found him on his knees praying. “Shouldn’t take long” my friend thought. Twenty minutes later Grandpa was still on his knees.

It is written:“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,‘ every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’” (Roman 14:11)

For some of us it is our sin that brings us to our knees but the love for Christ is what keeps us there.
