Good morning, my friends, and welcome back to the morning mindset.

I hope you are ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God today, and I'm telling

you we have a doozy of a truth today that I hope is really going to turn the lights

on for a lot of you and give you an encouragement and strength and a hope in your life that can

move you forward free of some of the things that perhaps abounds you your entire life.

Before we get there though, let me remind you, my wife and I published a parenting podcast

that is drawn directly from the scriptures and applied to everyday life.

It's called God fearing kids and the parents who raised them.

If you're a parent and you haven't tried out the podcast, I would encourage you.

Go to Godfearingkids.com and check out all the episodes we're publishing on a bi-weekly

basis.

There's probably 25 episodes already in the hopper.

We would love for you to benefit from what the scripture says about your role as a parent

and how you can raise your children to love and know Jesus Christ.

Okay, today we're going to look at Colossians chapter 3, verse 12, and we're going to look

at the amazing truth that when you and I were saved, we became God's beloved.

Friends, have you ever been someone's beloved?

Have you ever known that joy to recognize that somebody looks on you with such delight,

such excitement, such joy because they have chosen, they have determined and they have

been drawn to you in a way that they are going to love you for the rest of your life?

Well, friends, whether you've experienced it or not from a human being in this life,

you can experience that from the God of the universe.
