GOD’S IDEA - January 18, 2022 from Max Lucado's Daily Devotional
“This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9).
"A divine spark indwells you. When you say yes to God he blows on that holy ember, and it begins to flame. It grows day by day within you. Are you perfect? No. But you are being made perfect. And he has a wild and inexplicable love for you. You are God’s idea, God’s child."
"You were loved in heaven before you were known on earth. You aren’t an accident. You are being made into God’s image. You are a diamond, a rose, and a jewel, purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ. In the eyes of God you are worth dying for. Would you let this truth find its way into your heart?"
From Mike: Notice Max writes that "when" we say "yes" to God he will stoke our fire. Saying "yes" to God is not just a one time action but an everyday event. I'm finding that many people believe a one time statement of belief will carry them forever. A fire not tendered will extinguish itself. Don't allow yours to go out! Nurture your fire with scripture reading and prayer!
