I was looking at my children the other day and it hit me just how beautiful they are. I'm not just speaking of their physical attributes but their overall significance to me. With this in mind I began to think of how beautiful they are to God. Not just them, but all of His children. If I, as broken as I am, can love my children with the intense love I have, how much more does God intensely love His children? Even in our rebellion He sent His Son as a sacrifice to pay the sin debt we accumulated. He did this so that we could have that Father/child relationship the HE desired...not I. How great the Father's love for us.
"See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are." 1 John 3:1
