“See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are!” 1 John 3:1
We do not deserve nor should we have…. We are unworthy, sinners, who deserve death. Yet we live as though we are entitled to things, some things, money, happiness, health, pleasure, success.
These things, they take away from Him, His purpose, and us. They take away who God made us to be, His children, His love, His chosen ones.
Being those, are greater than being rich, happy, healthy, fulfilled from pleasure and successful. Being those, gives purpose, meaning, value, and are things that last, remain, and are constant.
His children, His love, His chosen ones, these we don’t deserve to be, but are, by His grace, His mercy, and His love for us, you and me. What better things are there than these?
“You are among those who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ, dear friends in Rome. God loves you dearly, and he has called you to be his very own people. May grace and peace be yours from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:6-7
