He Calls You His Child
by Max Lucado

You may know what it’s like to carry a stigma. Each time your name is mentioned, your calamity follows.

“Have you heard from John lately? You know, the fellow who got divorced?”
“We got a letter from Jerry. Remember him, the alcoholic?”
“I saw Melissa today. I don’t know why she can’t keep a job.”

Like a pesky sibling, your past follows you wherever you go. Isn’t there anyone who sees you for who you are and not what you did? Yes, there is One who does, your king. When God speaks of you, he doesn’t mention your plight, pain, or problem; he lets you share in His glory. He calls you His child.

God proved His love for us by sacrificing His Son. Psalm 103:12 says, He has “taken our sins away from us as far as the east is from the west.” Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
