Devotionals

My body is a miracle. Inside of me, there are many organs and systems that I don’t understand and hardly ever think about, yet they go on functioning without any conscious help from me. The same is true about all living organisms. In numerous ways, I am such a small, insignificant part of the environment and have practically no influence over any of it. Yet, in God’s eternal plan, He reached down and drew me to Himself. That, in and of itself, gives me all of the significance I need. Just knowing that I am an object of His love, mercy, and grace gives tremendous meaning to my life. I don’t need to do anything more than believe in Him, trust Him with my life, and everything falls into place and functions the way He wants it to without any assistance from me. I am so grateful that the greatest claim I have, as one of His children, is that I know Him progressively more intimately every day of my life. There is nothing more meaningful than that.
