I had the privilege of bringing the team devotion yesterday at church. I brought a very simple reminder of what I have found to be the three most important things we must experience as Christians.
Number One: Jesus Loves Me! ME! With all my faults and failures Jesus Loves Me. When I don’t get it right. Jesus Loves Me. I may please or displease Him, but I will never have the power to change His love for me. (Colossians 3:12: “God chose you to be the holy people he loves.”)
Number Two: I am a “Child of God.” There is no title man can bestow on me, no title I might earn that is greater than the one God bestowed. I am a “Child of God.” (1 John 3:1: “Look at how great a love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children.)
Number Three: God’s Grace Wins! No matter what I might face in this life, Grace Wins. No matter that my mind might fade and my body fail, Grace Wins. (2Corinthians 12:9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”)
These are the things that I seek to live in every day of my life. I find in their simplicity that they are so deep and so vital to remember.
