"Behold, what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us, that we should
be called the sons of God: therefore the
world knoweth us not, because it knew
him not." 1 John 3:1
John was awed by the realization of how
much God loves us.
By His amazing love, He helped us become
His sons and daughters, and now we share
His nature.
God loves to hear from us all the time. He
doesn't get tired of our voices.
He has prepared a supply of power and
blessings for us. Through His Spirit, He
gives us gifts and fruit, power and victory.
As wonderful as it is to be His children, we
need to realize that "the world does not
know us."
Our connection to the family of God will
mean that many will react to us the same
way they did to Him.
We shouldn't be surprised when we are
question for our motives, or when we are
misunderstood and rejected, even criticized
and mocked. Some people will think we are
foolish and refuse the reality of our spiritual
lives. They will even refuse to believe that
God answers prayer and does miracles.
Don't be discouraged by the reactions of
others. Stay true to the Heavenly Father.
Call on Him anytime, day or night. Seek
to know Him more. We are His children
and He loves us!
