I love to hear God talking to His Son. Our new section in Mark 1:1-20 has this perfect beginning. Can you think of a better way to send off your son: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased"? I'm noticing that God is not just saying that Jesus is really looking good or even doing a good job. He seems to be describing how He feels when He thinks about Him or connects with Him. It sounds more like " The way you are just delights Me".
That's how He is thinking about us. We get so used to thinking about the way we look or act or even our frustrating thought patterns. God sees our love and trust in Him - the child-likeness that is maturing - and He is pleased. The messy parts that are so obvious to us, He covers with the blood of His Son as we turn to HIm. "Who can bring an accusation against God's elect? God is the One who justifies." (Romans 8:33)
So can you hear Him saying, "You are My beloved daughter. In you I am well-pleased" ?
