“You must see what great love the Father has lavished on us by letting us be called God’s children – which is what we are.”
1 John 3:1
Re-read this scripture, slowly. Let the truth of it sink in. The God of the universe has chosen you. He is calling you His own. What can be better than that? I love thinking about this and considering how I might be changing because this reality is more than just an intellectual thought…it is a truth beginning to take hold in my heart.
I wanted to find a way to hold this in a deeper way so I re-wrote it for myself:
“Look and see the great love my Father has lavished on me…by letting me be called ‘His beloved daughter’ – which is what I am.”
Each of us can say this. Take some time today to ponder this treasure from God’s word. Re-write it and make it your own. Let it be one of those truths that moves from your head down into your heart.
Peace from one of His children,
Deb

I love when the the words love and lavish are used together! It's even better when they are used about me! In this past year I have gotten to experience God's lavish love. I hate to admit this but most of the time I like to be under the illusion that I am in control so I don't allow God to lavish his love on me because I am too busy working at being in control. But when my life was totally out of control God did lavish his love on me in many unexpected ways. So now I work hard to let go of my control issues because I want to continue to experience God's lavish love.
