Instead of reliving those experiences, though, today I was
remembering reading through the gospels as a high school junior or senior. I can remember reading what Jesus said to the
Pharisees, priests, etc., and thinking to myself, Don’t say that, Jesus! Then they won’t listen to you! I was embarrassed for Him. Even though I knew the end of the story, I
didn’t want Jesus to be rejected.
Jesus knew what we’re learning: we’ve already got love and acceptance. We don’t need to go looking for them. Jesus carried the sense of who He was when He
came to earth; I want to carry that same sense of identity with me after I’ve
been with my heavenly Father.
I love this from Neil today:
God has not equally distributed gifts, talents, or intelligence, but He
has equally distributed Himself. Our
sense of worth comes from knowing who we are as children of God.
