A Powerful Word

I had a wonderful experience this past week. The truth in it is true for all of us.

Not often do I feel I hear a word from God. There have been a handful in my life and one of them was Thursday October 29th.

I have been reading a lot of books and in them they were talking about making a list of the things about you that are positive, a list of your strengths to battle the constant barrage of bad thought and feelings we have about ourselves.

So the week before while praying during my drive to work, I decided to ask God a question. I said; "Father what do you like about me?" I shut up and listened. I started to think about some things I like about myself ... but how cool would it be to hear about the things my Abba Father God likes about me. I heard silence. So no big deal ... but I kept the question open and would wait for His answer.

Well, Thursday it came. I had asked him again saying look you do not have to answer. I know you love you. I know you choose me before the creation of the world. You sent your only son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins and have given me eternal salvation... but Father it would be really cool to know some of the things about me that you like ...

Then He answered...one word...He said; "Everything!" A burst of joy filled my heart and all I could do was laugh a deep hearty belly laugh. God loves everything about me. And he loves everything about you as well. Think about that one!!!
