1 John 3:2 (ESV)
Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be
has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him,
because we shall see him as he is.
It is easy to begin feeling bad about yourself. You start
to look at what other people have, or the things they say and wonder, what is
wrong with me? Why can’t I look like that, or say those funny things that make
everyone laugh. If you’re not careful, you can begin to really get down on
yourself.
So on those days when you really feel like you’re just
not likable, or when you feel like you’ve really messed up again, begin
thinking about today’s Bible verse. This verse shows us a powerful truth, that
we are children of God. It doesn’t tell us that we’re trying to become God’s
children, or that one day we will be God’s children. No, it tells us that we
are God’s children now. That means we don’t have to do anything or change
anything to become God’s child. Its something you already have.
So as you go about doing all the things you do today,
remember what today’s verse says. Remember that you are God’s child. That means
a lot! That means that you’re important to God and that He’s got great plans
for your life. So don’t get discouraged. Choose to dwell on the truths found in
today’s Bible verse and begin seeing yourself like God sees you, as His child.
Dear Lord, we thank You that we are Your child. When we
start to get down help us to remember that You are Heavenly Father is control.
In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
