TAKE A MOMENT - REMEMBER

Take a Moment

Katy Foster

There’s nothing that can take one back in time as a good old-fashioned photo album!  

Remember that time in the backyard, or that vacation when you were sick?  Those pictures refresh our memories, and we fall in love with life and loved ones all over again!

There’s a Bible passage that does the same.  It takes us back, refreshes our memory, and helps us fall in love with Jesus all over again. Romans 5:5-10 (NKJV) states 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”  

Remember that day God revealed His love and His plan in your life?   

“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”  Remember that revival Jesus gave you in your heart?  Verse 8 states, 

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”  

God’s love remains strong for us, although we wouldn’t love Him back.  Remember that time when you realized He really loved you?  Verse 9 states that 

“having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”    

God’s plan for us to be with Him forever is in great details – like all His plans and creation.  Remember when you were in awe of the intrinsic ways and creations of God?  Verse 10 states that 

“we shall be saved by His life.”  

The resurrection and eternity of Jesus live within us.  He rose from the dead!  Remember seeing His power in your life?  Remember?  Take a moment, and bask in these wonderful memories!
