See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! (1 John 3:1)
If you’ve spent much time around here, you may wonder if this blog is more about being a father than finding freedom from pornography addiction.
To be honest, there’s a pretty good reason for that. The truth is, as much as I love writing about finding freedom from pornography, I simply can’t help writing about being a dad. It’s the greatest joy in my life.
The Bible refers to children as a gift from the Lord, and even though there are days when I question how true that may be, I have to say I whole-heartedly agree.
I love my daughter more than anything.
She is my joy.
She is my blessing.
And you know what? My feelings towards her have nothing to do with her behavior or how “lovable” she is at any given moment. In fact, I remind her all the time that there is nothing she could do to make me love her any more or love her any less, because I already love her with all of my love, and that will never change.
I love her solely because she is my child.
But get this: You are a child of God, which means the God who created the entire universe feels exactly the same about you!
You are God’s joy.
You are God’s blessing.
Even on your worst day, when you’re wallowing in sin, throwing tantrums, and being a complete pill, God still looks at you and says: “Man I love that kid. How lucky am I to have him as my son?”
God is absolutely crazy about you, and that will never change, because you are now His child.
