Terrific

“Terrific!” breathed Zuckerman.4

Just as we read of Zuckerman’s enthusiastic admiration for Wilbur in this story, so does our God joyfully admire us. We are terrific in His eyes, not because of what we have done, but because He sees us through His Son. God breathes His Spirit into our lives when we know Jesus, and that is terrific!

We’re terrific because we are . . .
