my birthday I kept checking my facebook all morning to see if anyone had said "happy birthday" to me. I was severely disappointed to find that no one did all day. I began thinking to myself, "did I do something wrong? I try to say happy birthday to everyone, but maybe no one cares." Then, I realized that my birthday was not viewable on my profile. About an hour after I made my birthday viewable about 30 people wrote on my wall, and by the end of the day it was around 90. Isn't funny how fast we go into self loathing? I say "we" because I think you do, too. We are so wrapped up in how much other people respond to us that when they don't we get sad. I know, some of you are way above these problems, but for the rest of us we need to learn that our self-worth should be rooted in God's love for us and how He views us.
Peter wrote:"But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; before, you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy" (1 Peter 2:19-20).
we approach Pesach this week remember that the God that freed us from Egypt has made a way for you into His presence through the blood of our Pesach lamb, Yeshua our Messiah. Don't worry about people and what they think about you, or if they remember you. Know that the God of all creation has great plans for you and loves you with an incomparable love!
Chag Sameach!
