One day a single friend asked a father of four, \u201cWhy do you love your kids?\u201d The father thought for a minute, but the only answer he could come up with was \u201cBecause they\u2019re mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The children had no need to do anything to prove themselves to this father. He took them just as they were. So it is with God\u2019s love for us. He loves us as we are, and it is his love that motivates us to trust and obey him in return.580<\/p>\n
The love of God is like the Amazon River flowing down to water one daisy.581<\/p>\n
I asked Jesus how much he loved me. He stretched out his arms and said, \u201cThis much\u201d\u2014and died.582<\/p>\n
A father was tucking in his six-year-old son for the night. The father asked him, \u201cSon, when does Daddy love you the most? When you\u2019ve been fighting with your sister and getting into a lot of trouble? Or when you\u2019ve been real helpful to Mommy and real nice to everyone?\u201d<\/p>\n
The son thought for a moment and then said, \u201cBoth times!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRight,\u201d the father said, \u201cand do you know why?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCause I\u2019m your special guy,\u201d replied the boy. For that was his daddy\u2019s pet name for him, \u201cDaddy\u2019s Special Guy.\u201d The boy knew his father loved him, no matter what, because he was \u201cDaddy\u2019s Special Guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
God loves us the same way. He loves us unconditionally because we are his \u201cspecial guys.\u201d583<\/p>\n
On the whole, God\u2019s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for him\u201d (C. S. Lewis).584<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
