To be invited is to be of value - if we don't respond to the invitation we will be missed. To be invited is to be wanted - if we respond to the invitation we will be welcomed. To be invited is to be free - our choice is respected. Most of us have experienced what life is like with people who do not give invitations. Those who have been abused know that not everyone invites or waits for a response.
Some people insist, demand, manipulate, force.
Those who have experienced neglect also know what it is like not to be invited. They know what it feels like to be an uninvited, unwanted guest in life. Experiences of abuse or neglect can make it difficult to trust God as an invitation-giving God. The Bible consistently presents God as a God who invites - a God who values us and respects our capacity for making choices. God invites us to experience life with him.
