What God is teaching me!

James 1:18 says, "He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation became his prized possession."

So believers are God's prized possession. I don't know what you think about when you think about your most prized possession. It could be pictures of loved ones, something someone gave you that you hold very dear. But how would you feel if some one mistreated that most prized possession. How do you think God feels when we mistreat those in the family of God.

This by far is one of my weakest areas in my Christian life. People get on my nerves and I have no problem complaining about them. So how am I treating God's most prized possession. Just let me say this my Heavenly Father has been gracious to me, I should have gotten a few spankings by now!

But when James says we are his most prized possession he is talking about all believers, that is right you are God's most prized possession. Doesn't that put a tear in your eye when you think about all the things you have done in life to displease God. And yet he calls you His most prized possession. Mountains are beautiful, oceans are breathtaking, but Believers in Christ are God's most prized possession. Just think about that for awhile. And Thank God for it because you don't deserve it.
