Somebody Special: Part 1 – Someone Valuable

Introduction:

Let me say right here at the beginning that there is hope for you.  It was never God’s idea or His plan that your life should turn out the way it has – so far.  It is His idea that you should be one of His children and that your life should be filled with His good things.  He even has a way of escape out of the mess you’re in.

“I’ll never make it on the outside.”

“When I get out, it’s going to be the same old story.”

“Some people are just born losers.”

“There’s no hope for me.”

Is this how you feel?  Are your days and nights filled with anger, sorrow, and despair about what is happening to you?  About your present circumstances?  About your future?

Let me say right here at the beginning that there is hope for you.  It was never God’s idea or His plan that your life should turn out the way it has – so far.  It is His idea that you should be one of His children and that your life should be filled with His good things.  He even has a way of escape out of the mess you’re in.

Prayer

“God, I’m in terrible trouble.  Will you show me the way out?”

God loves you.

I can imagine some of you laughing bitterly when you hear someone say that.  Sure, He does, you think.  Well, if God loves me so much, how come I’m in this awful place?  How come my life is such a mess?  Why do I feel so hopeless?

You’ll find the answers to these and many more of your questions as we continue this study, but right now, let’s concentrate on the fact that God loves you. How do I know that God loves you?

I know it because I’ve personally experienced that love.  I know it because the Bible says over and over again that He loves me and that He loves you.
