IS GOD PLEASED WITH US

“And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.  And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Mark 1:9-11 KJV

I wonder if God is pleased with what we are doing and what we are thinking.  God doesn’t expect us to be perfect because we are still in the flesh but He does expect us to love one another unconditionally and to be an encouragement to each other.  All of us need encouragement at times.

I do my best to be an encouragement to others but there are times when I need to be encouraged.  Jesus knows how it feels to be discouraged.  I’m sure when Jesus was here on the mission His Father gave Him that Jesus also was discouraged at times and felt like giving up just like we do.

We put people in wheelchairs when they are unable to walk and take them where they need to go.  When people are discouraged, we need to put them in an emotional wheelchair and take them to Jesus.  Only Jesus can heal our broken heart and make the light shine brighter in our heart.

Our Saviour loves us so much and He wants us to be happy.  When we are sad He weeps with us and when we are happy, He rejoices with us.  We don’t have to go through this life alone.  Jesus is right beside us, holding our hand and carrying us through the dark valleys.  What a loving Saviour we have!
