Work it (1)
'My Father never stops working, and so I keep working, too.' John 5:17
Can you imagine what it would be like if everywhere you went you ran into someone you didn't like? What a nightmare that would be! At a party, out shopping in town, in school - there they are. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, this person turns up at your house to eat your food and sit on your loo. That's the kind of situation you find yourself in when you don't like yourself.
Everywhere you go, you're there - you can't get away from yourself, not even for a minute. You're heading for a sad life.
God thinks you are extremely precious - did you know that? - and all the time God is working on your behalf. Jesus told us, 'My Father never stops working, and so I keep working, too'.
Every moment of every day He is working to keep gravity at work so the universe holds itself together for you. He holds the stars in place at night and makes the sun rise and set at the right time - just for you. You are that important to Him. He likes you so much that He can't stop being around you. He even gets on the heavenly karaoke for you:
'The Lord your God ... is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and He will refresh your life with His love' (Zeph. 3:17 CEV). Enjoy you as much as God does. He says you're worth it!
