“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” ~1 John 3:1

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” ~1 John 3:1

If you have children, then you know that there is a special type of love - one that dances beyond what can be explained. It is a love that is willing to do anything to alleviate pain and suffering, a willingness to jump in front of the proverbial bullet, to take loss so the other can gain.

I believe that God gave us that gift to reveal Himself to humanity, allowing us experience a smidgeon of that love. One day, oh that glorious Day, we will KNOW that love intimately, personally and completely, yet forever exploring its depths.

His mysteries are exciting and thrilling, stretching our imaginations and wrapping us up in a bundle of expectation. “Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand His decisions or explain what He does?” [Romans 11:33] “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” [Romans 8:38-39]

“For in Christ Jesus you are all children of God” ~Galatians 3:26a
