A Christian That God Is Proud Of

2 Thessalonians 1.4 "So that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure."

When a child is doing well his or her parents are quick to talk about them to their friends, colleagues and neighbours; some would even refer to them in discussions with other children. Bosses and employers do it too; there are some staff that are called superstars; the bosses want others to be like them; they boast of them to other colleagues and competitors. We all do it with our favourite sportsmen too, we boast of them and some even make bets, because they are confident of their ability to perform and deliver the goods.

I am inspired by people like Job. God said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” Wow!

Can God have such conversations about you? Can your pastors boast of you? Is there anything for which you are admired and referred to? Can they say that you have raised godly children? Can they boast of your marriage to others? Your relationship with God, your prayer life, your passion for the things of God, your giving, your faith, your love, your knowledge, etc, are they things to write home about? Let's be Christians in whom God is well pleased! Amen.

Happy Sunday.
