how God thinks of you



When we know how and what God thinks of us, it is easier to know how we should think about ourselves.  In fact it is not only comforting to know how God thinks about us, but these facts reassure our faith.


Read through these verses and note what God thinks about you:


Isaiah 43:4  NLT  

Others were given in exchange for you.  I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.


Matthew 10:29-31  NLT  

What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.


Psalm 139:17-18  NLT  

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! 18  I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!


Those are incredible verses.  They say that God thinks of you and God values you.   These truths should change our thinking about ourselves and about others.  See as God sees.  Wait.  Think as God thinks.  Read on.


Isaiah 55:9  NLT  

For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.


Jeremiah 29:11  NLT  

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.


Not sure if you needed that today, but I did.  You are valuable.  And that is what God thinks of you!


NOTE:  Please pray for the Cuba mission trip that begins on Monday.

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...
