Three simple affirmations. -you are mine...and I like that -I chose you...because I love you deeply -listen to this guy...he does what he does well, he's got it. These are the threads of life we all live on. Parents give them to your kids with every breath and move you have. Give them with sincerity to everyone in your small group this week. Let yourself hear it from God right now. If you marched me up to preach right now it would be this simple message. You are loved deeply. You are a created child of God. And you Soooooooo have "it". I am going to repeat and believe those simple truths today. “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”
