Reflections… a Scripture verse and inspiration for daily living [1/5]

1 John 3:1 (NIV)
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

There is a difference between being one of God’s children and being a child of God. We are all His children because He is the creator of all things, but we choose to be a child of God by choosing to know Him, love Him, and obey Him. May we grow in our knowledge of who God is. May we love Him, and others, more with each passing day. May we do His will, here on earth, and follow the example of His one and only Son, Jesus, the Christ.

We praise Jesus because He is our life’s blood. Without Him we have no hope of having a connection to the Father. Without Him there is no peace for our burdened souls. Without Him we are hopelessly lost.

Jeremiah 31:16a (NIV)
This is what the Lord says:
“Restrain your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,
for your work will be rewarded,”
declares the Lord.

We have a hope… and many promises… in the Lord. As we read the Bible, we can see how God has been faithful to His people. May we find comfort in knowing that, in Him, our perseverance and righteous choices will be noted and rewarded.

3 John 11 (NIV)
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

May we know, and be known by, God. May we become a better reflection of who He is. (inspired by Reflecting God – Devotions for Holy Living, WordAction Publishing Company)
