Father, what marvelous love You have extended to me! Just look at it—I’m called a child of God! That’s who I really am. I know that when Christ is openly revealed, I’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. I look forward to His Coming, staying ready with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for my own. Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank You for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise, and for revealing it to little children. Jesus, You have made me to be my true self, my child-of-God self. I love You, LORD! Amen
