You Are His Child

…you are God’s chosen and special people. 1 Peter 2:9

 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus… Galatians 3:26

             Learning to see yourself like God does means learning who you are to God.  If you think that God is just up there in heaven somewhere and doesn’t see or hear us, you won’t understand how precious, special and important you are.  The truth is, He cares for us more than we can ever understand.  In fact, if we apologize for our sins, ask for His forgiveness and let Jesus take control of our lives, God calls us His children.  That means that He loves us like His very own. 

            Have you ever seen good parents take care of their children?  They will do anything for their children.  They feed them, burp them, wipe up their spit-up and, of course, change their dirty diapers.  (Display items as you talk about them).  Why would anyone do that?  (Allow for response).  The only reason parents would take care of their children is because they love them.   God takes care of you because He loves you.  You are important to Him.  When you understand that, you begin to see yourself like God does.  You start to understand how precious and important you are.  See yourself like God does and remember that you are His child.
