We are all getting more and more familiar with those QR codes that let us scan them with our smart phones and be taken directly to a website. You know they are those boxes with all the maze-like lines on the back of magazines, in printed ads and on products.
I was going to use an image of one with my blog this morning but I didn’t want everyone scanning some random code.
I remember the first time I was asked to scan one while in I was in one of my favorite stores in Tucson. If I scanned the QR code they gave me a free gift. I didn’t have a smart phone at the time so I couldn’t use it but they gave me the gift anyway.
That made me think – I should have a spiritual QR (Quality Relationship) code that I can scan to be taken directly to Father’s Website.
Oh wait, I do. It’s called God’s word. And many of us can now access it from our computers, tablets or smart phones.
What do I want to be my home page – something that will remind me daily of my relationship with the Father. Something like…
“Remember, in Noah’s time I punished the world with the flood. But I made a promise to Noah that I would never again destroy the world with water. In the same way, I promise that I will never again be angry with you and say bad things to you. 10 “The mountains may disappear, and the hills may become dust, but my faithful love will never leave you. I will make peace with you,
and it will never end.” The LORD who loves you said this.” Isaiah 54:9-10 CEV
or maybe
“Keep your lives free from the love of money. And be satisfied with what you have. God has said, “I will never leave you; I will never run away from you.”
6 So we can feel sure and say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
People can do nothing to me.” Hebrews 13:5-6
or even
“Christ died for us when we were unable to help ourselves. We were living against God, but at just the right time Christ died for us. 7 Very few people will die to save the life of someone else, even if it is for a good person. Someone might be willing to die for an especially good person. 8 But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.” Romans 5:6-8 CEV
I want these verses to be forefront in my heart. They remind me that God isn’t angry with me – He’s not in a bad mood. He is always extending His love to me and desiring His best for me. Even when I fail, He has promised not to remember my sins.
“This is the agreement I will make with my people in the future, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts. I will write my laws in their minds.” 17 Then he says, “I will forget their sins and never again. 18 And after everything is forgiven, there is no more need for a sacrifice to pay for sins.n remember the evil they have done. ” Hebrews 10:16-18 CEV
“God our Father loves us. He is kind and has given us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope. We pray that our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father will encourage you and help you always to do and say the right thing.” II Thessalonians 2:16-17
I encourage you to scan God’s QRcode today. It will bring you to a terrific website and there you will find wonderful free gifts that will last forever.
