A BASKET FULL!

“At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.” John 14:20. 
(NKJV).

“Why are you giving me this basket, Grandfather?” 

“Let me show you.

“Remember the verse we studied last night?” Timmy nodded.

“This basket represents God. He asks us to call Him Father. Amazing. The Creator of the universe revealing Himself to us. 

“That’s not all.” He opened the God basket. Nestled inside was a smaller basket.

Written on the lid, God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. “The Father revealed not only Himself to us, but also the Lord Jesus. 

“Hold on.” He opened the Jesus basket to reveal a smaller one with me written on it. "Now I’m hidden in the Lord Jesus who is hidden in the Father.

“Wait. Not finished.” Nestled in the me basket is the Holy Spirit.” Head tilted, Timmy reached for the baskets, nested each one, leaving the large basket.

“Do many people know about this?”

“Not enough. We’re privileged with sharing God’s Heart with others. When I realized I'm hidden in the Father, in Christ, and the Holy Spirit dwells in me? Nothing can come into my life without Their permission. Knowing that, all is well." 

"I'm the me basket, too?"

"Absolutely. A Basket full--beyond your greatest imagination--secure in the Lord."  

Kingdom Thinking. When this verse became real to me, I realized my position in Christ. I’m loved with an everlasting love and He will never leave nor forsake me. He loves you and wants you to be secure in Him. Won’t you come?
