Do you know someone very well? So much so that you can complete the next thought. If you can, it is evident that you two have spent a great deal of time together. You saw their good times and times not so good. The important part of your relationship is time, which is valuable time. The kind that is irreplaceable nor duplicated.
Our heavenly Father cherishes you in a way that surpasses human understanding. God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have invested part of their lives in you. They knew everything about you before your mom gave birth to you. Our heavenly Father watches over you. Jesus loves you. He brought salvation to your eternal soul. The self-exposure of your sinful nature came about by the revealing power of the Holy Spirit.
This trio cooperated in unison to make you part of the family of God. They knew the thoughts of your heart, the words within your mouth, and the needs in your life.
By being a child of the King of Kings, you experience the protection and provision of the Holy Spirit. He equips believers to realize some of the things God does for each of us and others that are too wonderful for us to comprehend. The inclusion in God’s family makes us see life and this world differently.
There’s another notion to consider. Jesus’s heart’s desire is for his family to increase. He loves the entire world, and he would like the world to come to know him (John 3:16-17).
May we remind ourselves once again that God watches over us. He loves us, and he loves the world. His love is a source of security and comfort, so much so that he wants the world to know Jesus as Savior.
