Most of us love to receive invitations: "Please join us... The honor of your presence is requested... Please reserve the following date... We'd like for you to be our guests at..."

As Christians, we're privileged to be able to extend the grandest invitation anyone will ever receive; but, why do we often shy away from this opportunity. I'd like to suggest it's because we fail to appreciate all of the little invitations along the way that make a big invitation easier to accept.
