Behold, What Manner of Love

Who am I

I considered my smallness, and said,
“Lord, I am nothing.
Who am I that You should even notice me?”
And a still, small voice answered,
“You are the one who asks the question.
And that is not nothing.

 It is everything.”

“Behold what manner of love
the Father has given to us,
that we should be called children of God.
And that is what we are!”

~1 John 3:1

  4. In our modern culture I don’t think we fully grasp the status of being a child of someone, at least not to the extent those in Bible times did – it was everything to be the child of someone who held position – I am the child of the one who holds the highest position of all!

    Even making love to others have manners too

  8. I don’t know how I got unsubscribed(!?!) from your blog in the last couple of days, Mitch, but I thought I’d alert you to possible problems with subscriptions. I noticed because I look forward to reading your posts, especially the Sunday morning one

      Thanks for letting me know, Ginger. It happens to a lot of people these days. Apparently, last year WordPress started auto-unsubscribing what their very glitchy software deems inactive or fake subscriptions. I’ve given up asking them to fix it.
