MUSINGS FROM PASTOR BRAD

     I was driving the other day and on the radio came the song “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You,” sung by Michael Buble (though made famous by Dean Martin.  Both versions are great).  As I heard the song, I understood the sentiment of the lyrics, that you might have all the worldly possessions at your disposal but if you don’t have love, you are a nobody. 

  But here is the thing: there are many people out there who already feel like a nobody.  They feel invisible.  They feel unloved.  They feel alone.  They might be surrounded by all sorts of people but yet feel unloved, unwanted, and forgotten.  Maybe you are feeling that way today.

   But you are somebody and you are loved.  You are loved by God.  No matter what.  You are loved so much that God sent his Son Jesus to die for you sins.  Nothing and no one can ever take away the love that God has for you in Jesus Christ.  As it says in Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

  You are not nobody.  Not to the Lord.  Not to the Lord who gave his life for you.  Not to the God who created you. Not to the Holy Spirit that sustains you in life.  You are somebody to the Lord.  Don’t ever let the world tell you that you aren’t anyone.  You are loved.  You are saved.  You are somebody.  Always.  May you feel and know the love of the Lord every single day.
