Image of the Invisible God

This was the title from the Mars Hill Lent book for today. The passage is Colossians 1:15-22. I usually don't post what I have gathered and learned and written because well...that's between God and me. But I feel that this is pretty important stuff and I'd like to share it with all of you wonderful people...

"Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation" Col 1:21-22.

I was created by God to be used by Him for His work. I am here because God wanted me here. He had a plan for my life from the moment I was thought of. He gave me all of the qualities I have. He let me make choices. He gave me free will. He was right beside me when the choice I made wasn't great. He was there to help me pick up the pieces. To carry me in His arms and to love me for who He made me to be. For it is in His eyes that I have no faults. It is in His eyes that I am a beautiful creation of God.

What an amazing God we have. What an amazing God that we serve.

May you feel God's amazing love for you today and always.
