Scripture tells us God communicates with us mainly through His Word – the Bible. He can make Himself known to us any way He chooses, through nature and other people – but He chooses to reveal Himself the most through His Word.

Jesus is the Living Word of God. We have the opportunity, each day, to live life to the fullest, as He died so that we could. We can choose to see life through a better perspective and operate our days for something more than just this life here on earth. God’s laws were meant to be guardrails for our lives, not legalistic measuring sticks. The law exposes us for what we are – sinners, every one of us. It reveals our need for God, and draws us closer to Him.

Our lives were meant to bring glory and honor to God. Every parent knows the pain of a child’s mistake suffered because they didn’t listen to warning or follow the guidelines their parents set in place. How much more does the Lord love us, and want what is best for us? His plans for us are more than we can ask for, or image. Look in the mirror at the unique, beautiful and purposed person you are – it’s obvious!
