I’M the RECIPIENT of GOD’S KIND INTENTIONS
“according to the kind intention of His (God’s) will.“
Have you ever longed for someone to be kind to you? Perhaps you’ve been in a troubled marriage and wondered, “Why can’t he/she just be kind?” You may have had a teen who rebelled and shouted, slammed doors, and ignored every good thing you tried to instill in them. “Why can’t they be kind?” you’ve pled to the Lord. You may have been abused as a child; or may be the victim of abuse even now. How you long for kindness. When we search for the answer to, “Who am I in Christ,” we find Ephesians 1:5 to be especially comforting. It tells us that we are the recipients of God’s kind intentions. God has intentions. They are kind. And they are directed at you.
Heavenly Father, thank You that in the midst of hectic days and sometimes difficult relationships, I am the object of the kind intentions of Your will. What a beautiful, glorious thought. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
