Written by Kyle Norman, a contemporary pastor and author.
God’s unyielding love is the plotline of the entire Bible. You cannot understand who God is or what God has done without understanding that God inwardly moves with a desire to shower you in Love. It is love that defines all of God’s actions, just as it is love that defines all of who God is. It is love that was incarnated in Jesus and love that was displayed on the cross. When we think about our lives, the love of God is the very atmosphere in which we reside … But it can be hard to recognize God’s love for us in this world of ups and downs, twists and turns. Our performance-based world of merit and deserve tells us that we earn the good things in our lives. And so, we may think that God’s goodness is a product of how good or perfect we can be … we are children of God, loved by the Father.
Prayer:

Dear God, help me to know that I am your child. Teach me to weigh the meaning of this title “Children of God.” Show me the power of your purifying love, and make me patient for my own transformation. Amen.
