As soon as Jesus was
baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice
from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” –
Matthew 3:16,17
It’s good being God’s kid.
I’m not really one that gets extremely wrapped up in the emotional side
of my faith too much; but it’s hard to avoid some pretty strong emotion when I
start thinking about the idea of God looking down at us and being pleased. Of course, sometimes we fall really short of
pleasing Him. But it’s a great feeling
knowing that because I have given my life and my heart to His service that He
sees my life and is pleased.
If you’ve given your life to Christ He sees you and feels
the same way. You’re His son or His
daughter and He looks on and says, “I love you, I am well pleased.”
Just a thought to think on next time you’re feeling unloved
or underappreciated.
