Do you ever wonder what God thinks of you as a leader? Is He impressed? Is He proud of you? Do you think He appreciate your efforts, motives, and hard work? I think I got a small picture of what He thinks about our Christian leadership efforts today.
You see, I’ve been working on a project at work for several weeks. The sum part of those efforts culminated today with the arrival to my office of the conference workbooks I oversaw the creation of. Did you catch that, something I helped create.
Genesis 1:26 tells us we were created by Him in His image.  The feelings I had about my creation gave me a small window into how I think God feels about His creation, you and me.
- I Was Proud Of My Creation
- IÂ Knew The Amount Of Effort That Went Into My Creation
- I Knew My Creation Wasn’t Perfect But I Loved It Anyway
- No One Can Tell Me That My Creation Was BadÂ
- My Creation Was Unique
- My Creation Sits On My Shelf Life A Trophy
- My Creation Will Have A Positive Impact On Others
- I Showed My Creation To Everyone In The Office
There are several HUGE differences between God’s creation of human beings and my feeble attempt of creativity with a conference workbook. One is that I needed the help of others while God is completely self-sustaining. The main one though is that as much as I appreciated the workbook, I would never die for it. I certainly would not sacrifice something important for it.
Jesus loved the human race so much that He died for it allowing an eternal relationship with Him to take place. When I looked at that beautiful, wonderful workbook I couldn’t help but think about how Jesus must feel when He looks at me.
How do you think Jesus feels about you?
