Children In God's Own Family

I John 3:1


How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! . . .

O my Father! What a miracle-worker You are, to cause us to be born spiritually into Your own family! Please, Father, help the little children who believe in You to grow strong in You, to know their position in You even in the midst of falsehoods they may hear on a daily basis. Teach them to distinguish what is Truth and what is not. They are so vulnerable. Help them to know when they are thinking their own original thoughts from You, and when they are rehearsing what they've heard from others. Protect them from the evil in the world and even in their own homes.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
