Receive God’s Love
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Can you imagine what it would be like to be adopted into a royal family? Just imagine, you would have a king as your father. Well, if you really give this some thought, your excitement will really depend on what kind of person the king was, whether he was kind and caring, and made provision for you to adapt to palace life so it didn’t become a prison of isolation and loneliness, and privilege didn’t crowd out personal development and growth. But if he did have your very best interests at heart, then it would be the most wonderful experience.
In an earthly sense, it’s fanciful thinking. But in the spirit, those of us, who have gratefully accepted the Lord Jesus’s sacrificial death on our behalf, really do have the privilege of being adopted as sons and daughters of a king – and not just any king, but the King of kings!
This is the family God invites us all to. His Kingdom where we can experience His peace and most importantly His love. While we may not be rich in an earthly, materialistic sense, how incredibly rich we are to be fathered by the King of love!
What an incredible privilege to belong to the King of love, who knows how to speak to His children, He is so tender, patient and kind, giving us the time we need, caring for us and working for our very best through every circumstance of life.
Prayer for today: God I acknowledge today that I am nothing without you. Thank You for the tremendous privilege to belong to a kingdom that is governed by You. I receive the love You have to offer, thank You for the wonderful privilege of being adopted into Your family of unconditional love. Your goodness towards me will never fail. Amen
