1 JOHN 3:1 NIV 1 How great is the 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. Yes, you have heard it before. No, you don’t understand

EPHESIANS 3:15 AMPLIFIED 15 For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named — [that Father] from whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name.

EPHESIANS 2:4 NKJ 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, The devil promotes the lie that God is mad at people and anxious to condemn them, but the Bible says that God is rich in mercy. Mercy means not getting what we deserve. Rich

PHILIPPIANS 4:4 NKJ 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! At least five times the Bible tells the people of God to rejoice in the Lord. We may not always be able to rejoice in other people, or in our circumstances. People can be frustrating. People can be immature. People can
