Marvelous

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to.
But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own.
I John 3:1-3
Do we see God's love as something that is causing wonder or astonishment? This is the definition of marvelous. To think that we are the children of the Creator, what wonder that is to think that God counts us as children. Remember today that Jesus is the model for our life and practice love, kindness and forgiveness today. Allow others first place today, be curious about your reactions, and find time to be quiet today and listen to your thoughts and God. Remember there is no reason for worry - you are a child of the Creator who does nothing but serve and provide. Allow God to provide and serve you in whatever way that is as a child. The things that happen in our lives that we do not like, we need to accept. It is much like telling my son that he needs to go to bed when he does not want to, not buy him a toy when he wants one, or not let him eat something that will not be good for him; he gets upset and wants to beg and plead for it. We do the same with God, but remember you are a child of the Creator and the Creator would do nothing to harm us. Go with the flow of life and allow God to take you where God will. You are a child of God and God's love is marvelous.
Namaste'
