Immanuel
“With us is God”
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing tat creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26 NASB (1995)
When Adam and Eve “fell” The Lord called Adam, saying, “Where are you?”
8They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
Genesis 3:8-9 NASB (1995)
God was hurt, the relationship with His creation was fractured. The Father wanted to get us back, so He paid the price by giving the life of His Son for the lives of humanity. He wants His family back. He gave everything to have you and me restored into relationship with Him.
Prayer
Father, thank You for purchasing me. I am now Your possession. Not only did You pay the Bride Price of Your Son You also gave me life! You invested a great deal into me. I want You to receive the return on Your investment. Help me to live according to Your will and Your desires. I give myself to You.
