WOW. This is hot. In other words, this encouraged me in a big way.
I am going to share with you some words from gifted author and teacher Beth Moore from a devotion posted at the Life Outreach website. Our small group Bible study is going through her book "The Beloved Disciple" and continue to be blessed as we learn.
I will give you some of my thoughts are what is copied below:
"How differently would we live life if we believe that God is thinking about us? Can you imagine Him sitting there all night watching and waiting for us to wake up? He's thinking, "Don't hit that snooze button again. I am ready to talk." What kind of God is that, who thinks of us that significantly?
"However, He is not the only one with an intentional plan for your life. God's purpose is to show His glory through your life, to give you hope and a future. He plans to prosper you in the things that really matter; things like satisfaction, fulfillment, fruit bearing, peace of mind, and joy. Satan's plan is to steal, kill and destroy in order to prevent God from getting glory. Ephesians 6:10-12 tells us to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to take our stand against the devil's schemes.
"God's design is highly personalized and perfectly timed. Acts 13:36 says, "For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep, he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed." David had one shot at it; one time around the garden. He served God's purpose in his own generation.
"God has a purpose for you in your generation and it is absolutely critical that you walk in the progressive revelation of His purpose. When everything else is said and done, we want the bottom line of our lives to be, "Did we serve God's purpose in our own generation?" Your name can be put into that verse. "When (your name) had served God's purpose in her own generation, (he/she) fell asleep."

My note: doesn't it give you chill bumps to know that God is thinking about you? Got a phone call the other night, and on the other end of the phone was a friend that said "God told me to call you." Those are sweet times when God reminds us, His kids, what we are with Him and He is with us. Remember you are special to God!
