John 3:1 says, "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him." God values us so much that He has adopted us into His family. Here are just four of the many:
God's creation
Look around you. The sunset, the air you breathe, the beaches, the food you eat and everything that exists - God made that for you. Everything that we see was made to speak of God's name so that we be reminded how loving, powerful and able our Father is. Isaiah 44:23 says, "Break forth into singing, O mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and will be glorified in Israel."
Our dominion
Genesis 1:26 says, "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'" God entrusted all of creation to us because He wants us to know He trusts us. Despite our sinfulness and stubbornness, God values us enough to entrust us with everything He has created. God wants to bring his dominion in your life and world.
God's forgiveness

Everyday, we fail God and His laws, but still He readily offers forgiveness because He wants us to know that we are important to Him. If we weren't we wouldn't be existing today! But because God loves and values us, we are forgiven and atoned for. He has given us brand new life enjoy it.
Christ's sacrifice
There is no greater proof of God's love than the arrival of Jesus Christ into this world. In His love, our Lord chose to become a lowly man just like us, walk this earth, feel our pain and suffering, and even die an excruciating death just to prove how much He loves us. John 3:16 makes this crystal clear to us: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." Rise today in this reality and share this message to all in your world.
