Baptism of the Lord

And a voice came from the heavens,
"You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."(from Mark 1:7-11)

In smaller and bigger ways, this is something we all long to hear:  with you I am well pleased.  Yet, desiring to hear it from a human voice is not what our soul is listening for. 

Spend some time today marveling in the fact that you are a child of God and that He indeed is well pleased with you.  Who knows?  The Spirit may surprise you and whisper those words to you while you sit and ponder this tremendous gift.
