My baby grandson, Cord Toft, was born yesterday. His little sister, Mesa, and I stood outside the delivery room giggling at the cries we heard coming from his little lungs in his first seconds of meeting the world.
Looking at his little face and eyes of wonder, I was filled with that love once again at the birth of a child—the kind of love that is giddy and bursting with joy. The Bible says that heaven rejoices at the birth of every child. What a wonderful welcome little Cord had yesterday!
I wonder who he will become? What are God’s plans for him?
From my classes on leadership, I wanted to share a few quotes to encourage you to discover your own identity and destiny with God. Some things we can learn from babies:
“A baby cannot get its identity by looking at its past.”
“A baby knows that it can do what its parents can do because he/she was made in their image.”
“Stop trying to fix yourself; become something.”
(Quotes from Wendy Backlund - Bethel Church and Global Legacy)
May this spring and this season bring a new joy to your house – that same joy the Father felt the day you were born!
