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.
1 John 3:1 NIV
We are in God’s family; our self-worth comes from knowing we are deeply loved and cherished by God. This very second God loves you! Do you believe it? I pray with ALL my heart you do!
He loves you in the morning when you have messy hair and fuzzy teeth. He loves you in the afternoon as you frantically try to do all the things and grow weary. He loves you when your patience wears thin. He loves you through tear-stained cheeks, bad attitudes, strongholds, and rejection. His love will never fail, every second of every day he loves you. You are so loved, Jesus prays for you, he advocates for you.
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Romans 8:34 NIV
You are never alone when you are in God’s family. Do not look to a fallen world for validation, you are chosen by God!
Heavenly Father thank you for adopting me! For loving me without fail and for sending your Son to save me. When I am pulled under by the waves of the world remind me, I am not a product of the world, I am a beautiful creation of my Father in Heaven, and I am deeply cherished and loved. -Amen
May the words that flow from me Lord be filled with Your message and when I am obedient may they be backed by the Holy Spirit. When I serve righteously let none of the words, I utter in praise of You fall to the ground. Help me to craft every word, may they pierce hearts and refresh weary souls. This gift is Yours; God I simply aim to use it for your glory.
