“The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
— Romans 8:16 – 17
The beauty of believing means you are a darling, cherished daughter of the heavenly Father whose heart is set on loving you. God’s desire is to love you so well that you are drawn to loving God with your whole heart and trusting him with your life. Today, God is saying to you “I’ve never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!” (Jeremiah 31:2 – 6, MSG).
Experiencing the lavish love of God requires a lifetime. As you continue growing in faith, you’ll learn to receive the special way God shows you the magnitude of his love. With each passing day, you’ll understand Father God’s love more and more as you see all the wonderful things God does for you.
Though fully understanding just how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is takes time, you can bask in this love that surpasses human knowledge today, faithgirl. Trust that God has chosen and adopted you as a special daughter; and God delights to do good things on your behalf.
