Today’s Reading - Luke 12:32-34

Thought:

“It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Have you ever given thought to that idea. We know that God sent His Son into the world to redeem us from sin. We know that, through Christ, we are offered the opportunity to be in relationship with Him. We know that God has promised a home in heaven to those who are saved through Christ. But have you ever considered the idea that, to do these things for us brings pleasure to God? God wants us to be saved. He yearns for it. To take our sins away and to make us His children brings joy to the heart of God. To see people come to Him in faith and obedience makes Him smile. So great is the love of God for us that He delights in being our Father and blessing us with all things, spiritually and physically. What a wonderful thought to know that, not only does God save us but that it is His pleasure to do so.

Why do you think God finds pleasure in saving us?
