I was reading 1 John 3:1-3 today where it talks about us being “children of God.” 1 John 3:1 says, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” I love this verse.
I remember as a kid the love I had for my dad and he had for me. Since he has passed away, I miss this. I remember when I could run to him and jump on his lap and he would make everything better. He would give me a great big hug and tell me how much he loved me. Even as an adult, I have wished this when having a bad day. I remember the last hug I gave him 10 years ago. This verse reminds me that even though I have lost my earthly father, I still have my Heavenly Father. I have an identity through Christ. I have a family through Christ. We are God’s children and we are special. I so look forward to the day in heaven when I can run and jump into the arms of God and receive a great big hug. I know in that moment, everything will be perfect.
