Consider the incredible love that the Father has shown us
in allowing us to be called “children of God”—
and that is not just what we are called, but what we are.
Our heredity on the Godward side is no mere figure of speech—
which explains why the world will no more recognize us than it recognized Christ.
1 John 3:1 J.B. Phillips New Testament

“God attaches no strings to His love. None.
His love for us does not depend on our loveliness. It goes one way.
As far as our sin may extend, the grace of our Father extends further.”
Tullian Tchividjian

“In the roughest moments, remember:
God is our Father;
God does not abandon his children.”
Pope Francis
***
My little flock, don’t be afraid. God is your Father,
and your Father’s great joy is to give you His kingdom.
Luke 12:32 The Voice

Heavenly Father,
With a heart full of gratitude, I come before You today.
Thank You for the gift of life,
for the breath in my lungs,
and the hope in my soul.
Thank You for guiding my steps,
even when I cannot see the path ahead.
For the love of family and friends,
for moments of joy and lessons in trials,
I give You praise.
You are my refuge, my provider,
and my constant source of peace.
May my life reflect Your goodness,
and may my words and actions honor You always.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
