See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are

 Love of the Father:

 

            Father’s love – we’re His children:

 

1 John 3:1

1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

 

            It is because of the Father’s love of us that He delights in calling us His child. It isn’t because of something we have done, or because He just can’t get along without us. It is because of His infinite love of us that He calls us His children.

            The parents of some children act like they don’t want them, but He loves us so much that He chose us to be His.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "I do not call you servants, but rather children. You are of Me and My love flows in you. What you do for Me is done in My love. For this is My will for you that you show forth My love to one another and thus prove that you are My children.”

 

            12. See what love the Father has for me … I am His child!
