John 3:16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Sometimes I’ll say something to my husband and he tells me I have a gift for stating the obvious but it never appears that way to me!🤣 What is obvious to others is not necessarily obvious to me and vice versa, and maybe it’s the same for you?
Maybe we need to state the obvious to draw our attention to it again. The fact is, we can very often overlook some things and lose some of their ‘specialness’ because of them being so obvious!
I know I’ve often stated the obvious in my Blog and you may have thought “Well I already know that. Why state the obvious?” I think God wants us to look at things again and again so they never become familiar or lose their power in our thinking and in our lives. We can hear things so often and think we know them inside out, like our verse, but they’re so important we should keep remembering them and there’s always something new to learn from God.
For instance, we’ve all read a scripture many times and then one day we have a light bulb moment and we see something in it we’ve never seen before, but perhaps it’s been obvious to someone else all along!
It’s like the man who told his wife at the beginning of their marriage that he loved her. Many years later she complained he’d never told her he loved her since. He replied, “Well I told you the day we got married, and I’ve not changed my mind, I thought it was obvious.”
We all love to hear someone say they love us don’t we? Words matter! Let’s not forget to state the obvious to those we love, whether it’s parents, siblings, friends, spouse, whoever.😊
So let’s never overlook the power of the obvious because for someone else it might not be as obvious as you think, and if you’ve never invited Jesus into your life why not do it today? At risk of stating the obvious, God loves you and gave His Son to die for you and He took all your sin away so you could belong to Him. He loves you unconditionally. Will you receive His love?
Have a blessed week and we can all thank Him afresh for how much He so obviously loves us.😊
