Has anyone told you you’re awesome?

Morning: Psalm 119:49-72; Deuteronomy 9:13-21; Hebrews 3:12-19

Evening: Psalm 49; John 2:23-3:15

John’s Gospel announces that Jesus is no ordinary human being, but ‘the Word made flesh’. The story goes on ... that means every human being is extraordinary too.  A friend of mine often bowls me over by asking: “Has anyone told you today how awesome you are?”  That’s essentially what Jesus tells Nicodemus when he says you must be ‘born from above.’  This is the awesome mystery of our humanity ... Life is so much more than a physical body, much bigger than what we see or touch.  When you accept how awesome you are, what a difference that makes.
