How Great Our God Is

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! Now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears we shall be like him fo we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure. 1John 3:1-3

As light broke through the night sky this morning, I couldn't help but think about how blessed we are to have the opportunity to believe and be called the children of God. I compared the early morning light to how the light of God gradually shines brighter and brighter as we grown in him, its like coming out of the darkness slowly like night into day. God is so good to allow us to grow in Him and wait patiently as the light comes on inside us. He knows we couldn't handle the glory of his presence if it were like a light switch turning on...it would be just too bright.

But He has lavished his love on us and takes us as far as we can go and waits while we take it in then we move further through our journey. He is so very good to us.

This morning as more people than any other day of the year acknowledges Jesus Christ, dressed in their finest spring clothes I pray every morning from this day will be Easter monring in our hearts. Wake up tomorrow and give thanks at what Christ did so that you may be called exactly what you are in Him, Childred of God.

In HIS Time
