1 John 3:1-2
“…in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth…”
See what love the Father has given 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. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.
1 John 3:1-2
Just as God speaks in creation and it happens, he calls us his children and we are! How does God’s identity as both creator and father inform each other?
Where do you find your identity in life? Do you believe that you are a beloved child of God? How does that identity transform your life?
What are some ways that you can rest in the love of God today and share it with others?
PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK
O God our Father and Creator, you are both personal and powerful, lover and Lord of all. You hold us in your arms and hold all things together. Help us approach you with familiarity as your children and with wonder as your worshipers. Amen.
