Hello First Family!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today’s Code word is Thumb.

We all have one but they all have a different thumb print. God designed us differently than anything else in creation. Have you ever wondered why your thumbprint is different than anyone else’s print? Maybe it is so we know  that we are special and unique to God our Creator. God loves us and cares about us in a way that many don’t comprehend. “He proved His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) On our Journey to the Cross, we have picked up clues as to why God would send His one and only Son to die on the cross for our sins. Our thumbs give us a clue. Our unique and intentional design by our Creator helps us understand that He sent Jesus to not only pay the penalty of the sins for all mankind, but also for your sins and mine. Oh, what a great and compassionate God, full of grace and mercy!

Let’s remember O.S. Hawkins advice today as we wash our hands frequently, “Today, when you wash your hands, look at your thumb and let it remind you that no one has a thumb print or DNA just like yours. You are an individual, indescribably loved by God. Let Him love you today.”

See ya tomorrow on our Journey to the Cross.
