Mornin’ Bro. John:
I just woke up from a sweet, wonderful dream.
In the dream, we were all in a meeting and Aunt Leatha was there. She was testifying so joyfully, dancing around in thankfulness “just to be a thing of God’s” She was telling us that “just to be a thing of God’s” was reason enough to be thankful and joyful in the Lord. The feelings were so sweet.
I remember years ago when the Lord told me “you are not a product of that union anymore” concerning my earthly parents. I thought “a product?!” The Lord just called me a product! 🙂 But that is exactly what we are – products – things created and owned by God! Isn’t that wonderful!
I looked up the word “thing” for a fuller understanding and here’s what I found:
“whatever may be possessed or owned or be the object of a right“
We are possessed and owned by the Creator of All. Being called a “thing of God’s” is a wonderful label to have. And that was Aunt Leatha’s point in the dream. If you can think of no other reason to praise God today, be thankful that you are His “thing”! 🙂
What a wonderful thought to start the day!
