Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Levi is a tax collector. In other words, he is a theif, a liar, and a cheat. He works for the Romans, turning his back on his own people. Levi is not a very good, or nice, person. And yet, Jesus calls him. Jesus looks past his sin and sees the person underneath. We sometimes think of ourselves as unworthy. We look at our sin: the things we have said and done, and we think God cannot, or will not, use us. When that thought crosses your mind, read the calling of Levi. If Jesus can use this person, he can use you. You just need to be willing to say, 'Yes, Lord. I will follow.' God bless you.
