So many of my kids live as orphans and slaves. You lived that way until you came to understand the love I have for you as my son. You once thought you had to perform to gain my love and acceptance. Sure, you knew it in your head, but it took awhile to get it into your heart. My love can never be earned. It is freely given. There is nothing you can do, good or bad, that will change the everlasting love I have for you. I created you for relationship with me, not to serve me. Service is the fruit of our relationship. That must come from a heart of love, not duty. I am sending you to others to share my heart with my children who desperately need to know and experience my love.
“I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor 6:18
