My home church has been studying through the book of James and on Sunday morning the pastor that was teaching asked us what word comes to mind when we think what God would say about us. I have to admit my mood has been down a little lately as I deal with asthma, bronchitis etc. I tend to be my own worst critic because I know my failures past and present. So when the pastor asked us to think of a word, what came to my mind was- disappointment, as in a disappointment to God.

Believe me, I could build a case for such a thought, but is that really how God sees any of his children?

We need to remember that when God looks at us, he sees Jesus because Jesus died for us. Jesus is also advocating for us with God the Father. When God looks at us, he sees his children. But reading it and having a concrete tangible reminder are different blessings.

So when I received a comment on my facebook post of my blog post yesterday, it subtly worked its way into my spirit. The comment came from a friend of mine who was my assistant in my morning class a few years ago. Her comment was, “by the way every time I listen to the song below, I think about you talking about Jesus.” What song is it? I Can Only Imagine.

The thought that my friend connects such a beautiful song about Jesus and heaven with me is such a nice compliment. After I read the comment, it was like a gentle nudge from Jesus to snap me out of my bronchitis induced funk.

God knows how to get through to us. He is always speaking to us in various ways. He is always with us. We just need to listen and pay attention. When we aren’t, God knows how to get our attention. For me it was through a comment from a friend on Facebook.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
