Great Mind

The parents of the young German boy were concerned when he wasn’t speaking as soon as the other children his age. He eventually began talking, but most around him noted he was withdrawn from the world, even as a boy.

During school, some of his teachers used the following words to describe him: mentally slow, unsociable, adrift forever in his foolish dreams. After failing the college entrance exam the first time he took it, it would have been easy for him to allow himself to be shaped by the words of his teachers and the descriptions of those around him.

Instead, he followed his “foolish dreams,” and devoted his time to the field of science, developing into one of the brightest minds history has ever known … Albert Einstein.

In John (1:12), we are told that “to all who did receive [Jesus], who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

Satan uses the words of others, and even our own thoughts at times, to try and convince us that we are defined by our faults, our shortcomings, our past mistakes and regrets. But God came to us in the person of Jesus Christ to tell us that we are loved, that His blood covers all, and that we are all welcome to come to Him and become children of God.
