AAA, and not the Auto Club

As humans, we all seek the three A's. I'm not sure what tells us to seek these, it may be childhood psychological trauma, it definitely starts at a young age. You see third graders and up making sure they "fit in". It may be hair cuts, shoes, or even a certain color shirt.

Okay, the three A's, here they are ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ACCEPTANCE, APPROVAL. The human need for these three can be overwhelming for some. We go into debt, depression, and even adulterous relationships seeking these tree A's. Psychology/Psychiatry is a million dollar industry geared toward helping people understand these three little words.

The word of God can and should really be our blueprint for life. It tells us that we are acknowledged, even before we were born, by the creator of the universe. It also tells us that the only condition for acceptance into the most elite club ever, the Kingdom of God, is to believe in Christ Jesus, and the one who sent Him. The bile also tells us we are approved. It tells us that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We are told that we are above and not below, the head and not the tail.

We have access to the best counselor ever, the Prince of Peace. We just have to believe what he has already said about us. Have a great 2009, and resolve to start getting into, and understanding the Word of God.
