Devotion for Today

God Made You

February 10, 2013

Our fellowship is with the Father, and with
His Son Jesus Christ.
–1 John 1:3

God made you! You were fashioned in His own image! You were made in the image and likeness of the Creator. God had a purpose in making you. His primary purpose is that you would have fellowship with Him. If man does not have fellowship with God, he is lost, confused, and bewildered. Since he does not find his place, he has a sense of not fitting. There are thousands of people who admit and confess that they are unhappy. Economic security, recreation, pleasure, and a good community in which to live have not brought about the peace and happiness that they expected. The reason is that man was created in the image of God and cannot find complete rest, happiness, joy, and peace until he comes back to God.

Prayer for the day

Help me this day, Father, to tell others of the fellowship that can be theirs. Your love will enable me.

Ty for the encouraging words. We need to those reminders because we are weak and Jesus is our strength.

Beverly says 2.11.2013, 00:03 a.m.

We are God's creation and are valuable to Him. Jesus said that "even the hairs of our head are counted by God." (Luke 12:7) Lord, help me to become the person you want me to be. Amen.

God seeks a personal relationship with all who are willing. Your past does not matter to him. Imagine the relief of a fresh start. All your poor choices left behind you. It can happen just ask.............

Why did God make "us?" "for His glory." Is. 43:7 gives the answer: 7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

George says 2.10.2012, 09:32 a.m.

I was lost because of my arrogance. Since a fateful day came upon me, I realized that I needed to turn to the one and only one. Thank you Lord for always being there for me.

There is no peace and pleasure in lives until Jesus is in the lives.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing (Psalms 34:10). Father I pray, that every plan of Satan will be destroyed, and every plan of God will be established in peoples lives, Amen!

He is Majesty, King of all Kings, Lord and Savior, Lord God Almighty, ever present, all knowing.

STEVE says 2.10.2011, 10:53 a.m.

I was about the most un-happy person you could meet. Since I gave my life to the Lord everyone I come into contact with knows the changes God has made in me. Walking in fellowship with Him shows others what they are missing..

sam says 2.10.2011, 07:21 a.m.

To have fellowship with our unseen Creator, we have to first have fellowship with our visible brethren who are in His image and likeness.

Gerry says 2.10.2011, 07:03 a.m.

When we come into this world we are like a puzzle with three large pieces missing out of the centre. Those three crucial pieces are called the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Find them and you will be truly complete, for eternity.

Larry says 2.10.2011, 06:27 a.m.

His Image cannot be tarnished; Only ours.

mick says 2.9.2011, 11:10 a.m.

May we quit tarnishing His and our Image!
