1 John 3 1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 

In the King James version it says to “BEHOLD what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God!”

As I read this verse and see the two translations, I can not help the love of the Father described by Jesus in the story of the prodigal son.

Some things to remember today on Thursday March 20 as you walk out your day … 

  1.  He Thinks About You When You Are Not Thinking About Him

Luke 15 20 … “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 

His Father was waiting for Him!  And watching for Him.  Even though the son had dishonored Him.

  1.  He Wants To Promote You

Luke 15 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it …

His Father wanted to actually promote Him!

  1.  The Gifts That He Offers Are All That You Long For

Restoration

Promotion

Forgiveness

Authority

Walking In Honor

Covering

Jesus tells us what the Father does, and John tells us to plant this idea on our hearts in our daily walks.

1 John 3 1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 

When you walk in the idea that God has taken your shame, and your bad moments, and your failures and replaced them with 

Restoration

Promotion

Forgiveness

Authority

Walking In Honor

it is hard to go the wrong direction.  So John is proclaiming it as a reminder to his spirit, and ours, that we are worthy of nothing …

But if we want to be worthy of selling the gospel we will have to take a memory of what the Father did for us so that can truly sell it.

“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”

Amen

Amen

and 

Amen

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
