Week of 6/9/2017 entry from Bible Promises for You Men’s Group: Children of God
We’ve finally made it to a second week in my 2017 journal. Seems to be like I was more active back then. However, I am more content and grounded in my faith today.
Scripture: 1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him
Thought: Tough message knowing we are capable of doing right and wrong. Conveys to me that you must rid yourself of all sin to know God. As humans who continually fail themselves and others it’s scary to think that you are good and a child of God one day and can fail the next.
Application & Response: Father I pray that you show me the faults I have that make you unhappy. I trust that by seeking your word, wisdom becomes mine and we come to know each other better.
(For some reason I combined the Application & Response in 2017.)
Looking back Today (2025): Almost eight years later I have learned that I am a child of God every day. It is his grace and mercy that welcomes me in our relationship. He knows me, all of me, and it is me that is getting to know him better.
