Living here

I will live there with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. ~ Ezekiel 37:27 (GNT)

The Word became a human being and lived here with us. We saw his true glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father. From him all the kindness and all the truth of God have come down to us. ~ John 1:14 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
We can become God's mature people because he has come to live with us.
PRAYER:
Gracious God, thank you for sending your Son Jesus to live among us. We see you in a new light because we see him. Yet, even with your presence we don't always act as your people. And I am speaking about myself, too. I don't always act as a Jesus person who has experienced your kindness and has seen your truth through Jesus glasses. But I am going to keep trusting that what you are doing here among us will eventually result in greater maturity in me. I want to become a mature follower of Jesus. Amen.
