The One Jesus Loved, Day 7

Lavish. That is such an incredibly descriptive word. The father lavishes his love upon his children. Read 1 John 3:1-3.

Regardless of what else happens in our lives, the fact that Jesus Christ and God the Father, the Creator of the universe, has allowed us to be called children is love that cannot be measured. This is how God lavishes his love upon us, by adopting us into his family through the blood of Jesus Christ.

When we accept Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross for us, we become part of his family. Our life does not become easy and it does not become simple, but it does become fulfilled. Jesus Christ fulfills our every need in every way that glorifies God.

Are we seeking to have our own needs fulfilled or do we think that being a Christian should entitle us a happy life in every circumstance? Of course not. We all continue to have struggles and trials and difficulties. Sometimes we have more trials because of our relationship with Christ. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Father lavishes his love on us in ways that we cannot completely understand. Are we experiencing God’s love in our life today?
