Jer. 28-30; 1 John 3;

1 John 3:1

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are, “children of God!”

"How great" John declares that we would be called the sons of the living God. John says that is because that is what we are. The other day I was talking to one of my granddaughters on the phone. I was playing with her (she is 4) and pretending I did not know who she was. I was saying “who is this again” and she was saying things like “it’s me” I said “me who” She said “don’t you know me papa I am your princess” Not a princess, not the princess, “your princess”. I think that is an incredible statement. That is who I am, I am a king, a priest in Christ Jesus, in Him and because of Him and for no other reason. In the reading of Jeremiah God says Jer. 30:22 'So you will be my people, and I will be your God.'" How great is the love of a God that would love me. Not just love me but make me His child. This morning I am teaching and the subject is “What does love have to do with it” The answer is everything (you get the answer early for reading the blog) because “God is love”

May God keep you and bless you and your family as you glory in His love and except the true measure of His gift by realizing we are the love children of the one and only living God….
