“See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! But the people who belong to this world don’t know God, so they don’t understand that we are his children. Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, and we can’t even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who believe this will keep themselves pure, just as Christ is pure.”
1 John 3:1-3 (NLT)
This morning my daily Bible reading fell on this chapter in 1 John, and these first three verses really jumped out at me. As I read these first three verses, I thought about our little Becca, and her pure approach to life that she has every day.
She wakes up every day knowing that Jesus and her Mommy and Daddy love her, and she approaches everything she does from that perspective with as the Bible says, “a childlike faith.” and with that a childlike joy! She loves every day and every breath of life that she experiences, and she approaches every moment with excitement!
