Devotion 1 John 3:1a Awash In The Father’s Love

1 John 3:1a – See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

Father God who loves us so completely, so dearly and so perfectly, we love You.  I was blessed to have a Father who loved me when I was so often unlovable.  It hinted at the eternal and great love you have for us.  You know, Almighty God, how many times I have cried to You with a broken and bleeding heart.  You know my shame.  You know how I have often hurt the deepest the ones I love the most.  When I did that, I failed you.  Oh it hurts to say.  But Lord, always and without variation you have loved me through it all.  You corrected, but never rebuked.  You were tender when I deserved a beating.  Oh Your love dear Father!  Your love lifts me from the lowest pits to the highest highs.  When I am most unlovable Your love always remains.  Your love has never needed to change, and it doesn’t, it is perfect.  When I should have thrown into the trash heap, you hugged the stinking mess I was and in Your love, in Your embrace, I was cleansed and healed.  You God are amazing!  You are my hero and my everything and I keep my eyes on You!  I am a child who adores His Father and who so deeply desires to be with his Father at every moment and be like him in every way.  Lord thank You for patiently moving me closer to being like You.  Thank You for Your expert craftsmanship.  I know the security of Your love and never fear to lose it.  Not because of who I am but because of who You are.  Thank you Father!  I treasure You!  Yes, You are my hero and You are the only truly flawless hero.  I love you Lord God!  I love you Father!  Thank you eternally!  Thank you dear and loving Father God!
