Family - I'm sure at some point in time we've all been embarrassed to admit that yip, that's my family! I remember catching the bus with my brother to High School, seldom would we sit with or even close to each other - we were quite simply just too cool for each other!

We have been given the incredible privilege because of the Cross, of becoming children of God, of being part of His family and bearing the Father's Name. Hebrews 2:11 tells us that:
Jesus is not ashamed that I am part of His family and He is not ashamed of you either! Pause and consider this for a moment - Jesus, in all His perfection and glory does not treat us with disdain; we do not embarrass Him. The Message paraphrase says that He doesn't hesitate to treat us as family and that He says: 
Jesus views you and I as a gift, the children that God has entrusted to Him. It is His privilege and joy to teach us, to worship with us - even to suffer for us. He became like us, experienced death for us so that we might be set free; that we might be made holy.

As you take a good hard look at Jesus this week; as you make Him the focus of your thoughts, consider the incredible depths of His love. Be reminded afresh that no matter what your past or even present looks like, His mission is to make you part of His family and for you to enjoy all the privileges of being a child of God.

He is not ashamed of you. 

Live today with purpose, Aimee
Jesus I thank You that You are not ashamed of me - that You welcome me into Your family. Thank You for Your willingness to experience death so that I could be set free from its power. I love You Jesus and I thank You for the privilege of being part of the family of God. Amen
