(14)For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. (15)The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." (16)The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
These lyrics should sound familiar: "Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong."
We sang this in "big church" on Sunday, and it was a wonderful reminder of the extent and simplicity of God's love. God loves everyone. For believers, it goes one step further. We are His children. We can cry out, "Abba, Father," to Him and He listens.
Remember that for this upcoming weekend: God loves you.
This is a wonderful example of a father's love that doesn't come close to the level of God's love.
Derek Redmond had 5 Achilles surgeries between the 1988 and 1992 Olympics. Now heavily favored to win gold, his right hamstring blows halfway in. He tries to finish, but his father jumps through security to help him finish, showing his incredible love for his son.
