Today’s Thought “Lifeguard on Duty…” G. Ward

1 John 4:9

By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.

While I don’t remember, I’m sure that as an infant I cried many times for no apparent reason, but what’s shameful is when 60+ years are afforded me to then perpetuate the same (cf. 1 Pe.5:7). While that may be somewhat amusing – it’s unfortunately an accurate tag. A believer’s view must have Christ Sufficiency in mind in every way. HE alone is our Great Shepherd and whereas our being tagged the sheep of HIS pasture exists, we’re unnecessarily prone unto a wrongful exploration (*1 John 2:15-17), to then sup in poisonous fields, amidst wolves and blatantly distant from our Shepherd (cf. Ps.139:7).

Our complaints sound similar to a baby crying every time perspectives (so temporarily perceived), flow from our mouths without hope; particularly since our LORD endured the greatest persecution, to then give HIS life for a big baby like me. Thank You Lord – in Your forever regard to make me Your child.
