Fantastic Friday #433 - COG

COG

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3
If you think of a Cog, it is a minor part in a large organization or more commonly a part of a wheel that makes a gear move which is something small that helps make a large impact.  Is it any wonder that a COG can also be an abbreviation for Children of God.  Now let's sit and think about it for a second.  While God is all-powerful and amazing, He still has us as His children to spread His gospel and share His Word. We, as His Children, are an extension of Him and therefore a minor part in His major machine.  We as Christians can help His gears move forward.  So, as Children of God, we are not just a person among many, we are COG in the wheel of life where we can help make God's message be moved forward with just a little effort.  Don't just be a follower of Christ, but be a Child of God to help spread His message.
Have a great weekend.
