God's Amazing Love

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to. (I John 3:1, The Message)

When we understand that God truly loves us, it sets us free from a lot of things that weigh us down, like worrying about other people's opinion of us, worrying about the future, and regretting the past. If you find yourself getting bogged down in life's worries or fears, it's probably time to get alone with God, spending some time reading, praying, and worshipping. God will remind you of how great His love for you is, and you will see your worries and fears fade. You may very well have God put someone else on your heart to pray for or go help. Your entire focus will have been changed.
