Thankful Thursday

"Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not part of my flock. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one."  John 10:25-30

I am thankful the Jesus died on the cross and did not stay dead!  He is alive!  He was resurrected!  I am thankful that he really made it so easy to trust in Him and to be part of His flock!  I think sometimes Christians take for granted the life Christ has opened for us through salvation in Him.  Do you realize that once you make the decision to put your trust in Him forever that He has adopted you?  By today's standards when you adopt a child the state would have a more difficult time taking that adopted child away from you than if you had birthed them, that puts a larger relationship between you and your Savior than that of you and any other human being on earth!  What will you do with this blessed relationship? 

I will be thankful for it and strive daily to grow that relationship!
