Thrown into the snow… ❄️

AMED 50.23

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Thrown into the snow… ❄️

We are all born with the need to be loved and to love. God created us that way. Perhaps this is why John 3:16 resonates with so many people: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16, NIV)

Do you know that God really loves you? If you are convinced of this fact, you will be bolder, happier, and more fulfilled. In psychology, it’s valued as the power of home base

If home base is healthy, loving, and strong, then we will be safe to grow and go. 

Paul the Apostle seemed to understand this psychological need in you and me because he prayed that you “may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:18-19, NKJV) Paul knew that most of us grew up in imperfect homes. Some had dads, and others didn’t. Some had loving moms, and others didn’t. 

I’ll never forget the sad story of a young woman whose mother threw her naked outside in the snow to punish her. Another young woman was molested by her grandfather. And a young man I knew had a speech impediment because his dad beat him with a frying pan. I’ve heard so many stories that have made me cry, but I’ve seen people’s lives changed by finding a new home base of love in a good church or a loving home. 

You may not have been born into a loving family, but you can be reborn into the family of God. It’s a family full of love. He’s a loving Father who sends His Spirit to fill you with love and help you develop a new home base of love.

Because you are a miracle.

    I’m so glad Jesus is my home. Humans can be so horrible to each other but God oh He loves us so!

      Yes they can be and it seems to be more common behavior than ever. I also am so grateful to God for loving me and my family. We deserve nothing from Him. Yet, we have been blessed with so much. Amen?

    God is no respect of a person, He loves us unconditionally. Thank you for reminding us that God is Love. Those that are hurting and feel they have no hope. Your hope is in Jesus.

    I’m so blessed to have been born in a family where love resided and continue to be the norm with most of my siblings and extended family. Our family mantra is to continue to share the same with our children in order their generation will be able to carry through with our parents legacy. It takes a village to raise a child.

    Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. Psalm 27:10?

    How do you knock your own walls down to let GOD in when you’ve been accustomed to not trusting anyone or anything?
