Today's Scripture Reflection
Gary Wieder, Family Pastor
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14

I’m not sure if it’s because of our insecurity, lack of self-esteem or just plain ignorance… but I’m convinced we do not come close to understanding how special we are to God. Yes, we know we are His children so I guess He has to love us… but the depth of that love seems to be consistently underestimated.

Take a moment (less than 2 minutes) to watch this quick commercial:
It’s easy to forget how valuable we are to others. We are precious to our families, our church families, and to the Lord

Colossians 3:12 describes followers of Christ as “God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved.” It does not say that we will be holy someday or that God will really love us after we do enough things to earn it. No, it says that He sees us as holy and dearly loved, right now.

Today, take a minute to rest in the fact that the creator of the universe knows you completely and loves you deeply. Not because of what you’ve done, but because you are his kid!

In other words: “If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.”

God bless you!
