Some truths we get used to, take for granted, and focus on the ordinary.

But we shouldn’t let that happen,

we should meditate on these amazing truths, wonder at them, revel in them.

Here’s one to practice on.

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1

What a marvelous, life altering, lavish reality.

In a world where we are constantly denigrated, looked down on and belittled,

Knowing this truth lifts us up, encourages us

and leads me to rejoicing and delighting in being your child, Lord.

in being held by your right hand,

in being guided by your counsel,

in being swept along by you to the end of history

and into your heavenly home,

to be there for eternity, worshiping, praising, glorifying the One True God!!!

“Guide me in living in the truth that you, LORD God, are my Great, Eternal Father!

That you love me as your child, chosen, forgive, adopted, dearly loved.

Turn my eyes from worries, fears and apprehensions

to your might and wisdom, victory and future.

Today may you be glorified in my life, my attitudes, thoughts, words and actions as I trust in you! Amen.”
