Devotions Sunday 27th Feb- 'Perfect'

Started off with a story called 'You're accepted!' about a woman whio knew she was different and felt like because of this that nobody cared about her. Until a teacher during a game said to her 'I wish you were my daughter'. These words changed her life, she knew then that people did care about her. And God says the same thing to us - 'I wish you were my son/ daughter'. It's a reminder that one of the great things about Christianity is it's message of acceptance.

Following on from this,we then looked at a song by Pink called 'Perfect'. It reminded us that no matter what we think of ourselves, God loves us and is always with us. When we feel we have done something wrong, God will always forgive us if we ask and say sorry. A line in the chorus of the song says 'Don't you ever feel like you're less than perfect, you're perfect to me'. This is how God feels about us, He made us and He made us the way we are so He thinks we are perfect. We can't argue with the creator!

God loves us, will forgive us and thinks we are perfect. Amazing stuff!
