Loved beyond measure

 “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” — 1 John 3:1 (NIV) 

 God’s love for us isn’t distant, conditional, or based on our performance. It is lavish, overflowing, and personal. From the very beginning, He loved us and chose us to be His children. Even when we were lost in sin, God demonstrated His love through the ultimate sacrifice—sending His Son, Jesus, to die in our place (Romans 5:8).  

His love doesn’t merely tolerate us; it delights in us. Like a loving Father who runs to embrace His returning child, God welcomes us with open arms. Nothing can separate us from this love—not our failures, not our past, not even our doubts (Romans 8:38–39). 

 When we truly grasp how deeply God loves us, it transforms how we see ourselves and others. We live not to earn His love, but from His love—secure, accepted, and empowered to love others the same way.   

Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for Your incredible love that never fails. Help me to rest in Your love today and reflect it to those around me. Thank You for calling me Your child. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
