A story of hope

Are you aware that God is constantly waiting for you to turn to Him? The devil wants to convince you that you don’t deserve it, that you’ve messed things up with your recent behaviour, simply that you’re not worthy. That is a LIE. I want to explain this to you through a story. Through the story of a 10-year-old boy who was adopted. He found it difficult to feel accepted in his new family because he compared himself to his other siblings who had been part of the family for much longer and therefore had a much more familiar relationship with their parents.

Until his father assigned him tasks: “It would be good if you could help me repair the car.” The boy said, “But I don’t know anything about it.” And his father lovingly replied, “I will explain it to you step by step.”

So, the little boy grew into his tasks and personally experienced his father explaining things to him that he didn’t understand before. And…he experienced the closeness of his father!

In the same way, you will experience the closeness and love of your heavenly Father as you begin to take on tasks that are in the Kingdom of God. This could be something very practical that is needed in your church, for example, or that task that God has put on your heart for a long time… Just get started!

Because, as you grow into your tasks, the knowledge of God’s presence in your life also grows!

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10 NIV)

If you don’t feel seen or accepted by God, if the liar wants to convince you that you’re not worth it, don’t believe his lies. Use your gift and experience the closeness of your Father in a completely new way.

You are a miracle!
