Scripture
1 John 3:1-2
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
Observation
G1443 δίδωμι didōmi, to give; put, pay, giving, grant, granted, offer, let, allowed, arranged, bring, commanded, enable, gave up, offered
Application
If I want to spoil my husband, I just bring home a box of chocolate covered cherries. I don’t do it because he deserves it or he has done something for me first. I just do it to show him I love him. God lavishes His love over us much in the same way. We don’t deserve it. It isn’t because we did something for Him first. He loves us just because! Many people don’t understand that concept. However, He is waiting for them too. He is standing at their doors with a box of chocolate covered cherries just to say, “I love you!”
Prayer
Lord, thank you for lavishing your love on me. I know some don’t understand my devotion to you because they don’t know you. I hope and pray that they see the truth and get the opportunity to be close to you also. ~Amen
