E197: Day 1 The Gift You Don't Know You Are | Greatest Gift

DAY 1 — MAY 8 The Gift You Don't Know You AreWhat does God the Father actually think of you? Not what you hope He thinks. Not what you say you believe on your good days. What He actually thinks — according to Jesus, in His own words, the night before the cross.This is Day 1 of a 10-day series built from the teachings of Pastor Jose Boveda, and it begins with a question that most believers have never fully sat with: what if you are not just the recipient of God's greatest gift — what if you are the gift itself?In John 17, Jesus prays to the Father and says: "Thine they were, and thou gavest them me." You were given. Deliberately. Chosen. Placed in Jesus's life by the Father who loves Him most — because the Father doesn't give His Son something He doesn't treasure.Today we open with the Hebrew word yada — the kind of knowing that isn't information, but encounter. Intimate. Deep. The kind of knowing that eternal life is actually made of, according to John 17:3. Because this whole series is not about learning more about God. It's about experiencing Him differently.If you've been going to God only in the painful moments — or wondering whether you're really as valuable to Him as the scriptures say — this episode is the beginning of something that's going to shift that. Stay with it all 10 days. Each one builds on the last.📖 Scripture: John 17:3 🔤 Ancient Word: Yada (Hebrew) — deep, intimate knowing; encounter over informationFor more resources and to get your weekly devotional delivered to your inbox, head over to holyshiftmedia.comFor more teaching by Pastor Jose Boveda, check out mfhlv.com for service replays and join live on Sundays at 10am Pacific.
