The Word I John 3:1-3 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! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. NIV A Thought You are God’s child! It is a wonderful blessing to be called God’s child; yet, people of the world do not understand that because they do not know God. It is a special blessing to be His child here on earth; can you imagine what it will be like to be His child in heaven? As you consider the expectation of being His child in heaven, won’t it is easier to show the love He showers on His children to people of the world? People of the world may see that His love is different than the love they know! The Word/Thought Devotionals are written by; Carlene Wolf.
