The word for today is - Special !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Special ! 

Do you know how special you are? Let us think about that for a second? Now,let us see it the way God has sees us, read Genesis 1:26,And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. How awesome is that? God has made us (the believers) in His image and has giving us power. The worldly standards  may have you thinking that you're not good enough, but God says, your special in His eye sight. We must  accept God's view of us and live with contentment. We are not like the world, we are created in the image of God, read Genesis 1:27,So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. The bible is clear it separates humans from animals, we are created in the “image” and “likeness” of God!  Animals operate by instinct, and they react, but people “think,”we have the ability to make choices. Read Joshua 24:15,And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.Let us stop judging by mere appearances, let us see the heart of man,read1 Samuel 16:7,But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. God knows the heart of every human being! The Lord said, I know the plans I have for you, read Jeremiah 29:11,For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.God is saying,You did not choose me, but I chose you, read John 15:16,You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. This is God talking to us ( the believers),read 1 Peter 2:9-10,But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Speak over yourself, I am special to God, He chose us! God views us simply as his children!Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
