1 John 3:1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that weshould be called children of God! And that is what we are! Thereason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1
"Children of God" That's an amazing title to reflect upon, and extremely scary. If I truly am a child of God, and I embrace that, that raises the bar for my "spiritual" life (which is, really, the same as my normal old everyday life). It is a privilege, and a joy, but to truly live as if I believe I'm a child of God... so much of my current values and foolishness would be tossed in the rubbish bin (as maybe it should be). Hmmm, once again her Quilliness causes me to stop and think.
