What Manner of Love

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God." 1 John 3:1 KJV

Love: what manner of love is this, a father’s love? It is a love that watches and waits and never gives up on a wayward son. It is a love that chooses the most worthless children and makes them sons and daughters of the King. It is a love that gives that which is dearest to Him, His Son, that He might call us His children. This is a love that we can now taste, a love beyond anything we have ever known or experienced on this earth. It is unmatched; priceless; and it is ours!

Precious Father, how in awe we are of you and your love for us! You have everything, and yet you desired that we would become your children. You left no stone unturned to gain us as your children and you spared no expense, even though it cost you the life of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. You adopted us because you wanted to and for no other reason. Thank you, Father, for letting us experience this kind of love, a love without condition. Oh, that we might be worthy of such a Father as you! All we can do is to bow in adoration at your feet and say, "Thank you for loving us so." Amen.
