TODAY'S MANNA for Sunday May 4, 2008
Why Did God Create You?
"What we have seen and [ourselves] heard we are also telling you, so
that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers
with us. And [this] fellowship that we have (which is a distinguishing
mark of Christians) is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ,
the Messiah."
-- 1 John 1:3 The Amplified Bible
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Some people get the idea that God made man so He'd have someone to
dominate. But God is not a dominator. In fact if you will read Genesis
1:26 you find that God made man to be a dominator. No, God is LOVE and
love needs to give to someone. That's why God made man. He made him so
He could give him His love. He made man something really special. God
made us in the very image of Himself. He made us to have fellowship
with Himself, for God loves our fellowship more than anything else.
God could have given His love to the angels, and He did that. But
giving to angels didn't provide Him with total fulfillment. Why?
Because the angels aren't made in His image and likeness, but we are!
MY PRAYER...
Abba Father, I will never understand how You could love me so much that
You would create me in Your image. Or why You would chose to fellowship
with me over the angels of heaven. But one thing I do know, and that is
You love me beyond compare. Please help me to love others as You have
loved me. Help me Lord to be what You would have me to be. In Jesus
name, I pray.
Amen
In His Service
