A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, September 21, 2025
Read with me!
“See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.”
1 John 3:1
We have a Father who loves us and calls us his children!!! Our Heavenly Father has paid the ultimate price so you and I could be counted as righteous and be called HIS CHILDREN!
Friends, so many of us walk around like orphans, never fully experiencing the Fathers love. Look, I was very fortunate to have been loved well by an earthly father and to be loved well by a spiritual father. One day my spiritual father left and I was crushed. It wasn’t until later and many hard times and feeling rejected and hurt that I realized that I had taken on an orphan spirit and felt spiritually fatherless. I had my earthly daddy who loved me very much but I was lacking a spiritual father in my mind. I was running around trying to do everything I could to win the approval of man while I already had the approval of THE FATHER!! I was seeking love and love was already freely given! The check was written I just needed to cash it! Our father in Heaven calls us HIS CHILDREN!! Oh the love He has for us!! When I settled into daughtership I experienced a loved I had never known! And thankfully found before the passing of my own earthly father or I couldn’t imagine being a completely fatherless girl! Friends, your earthly father may or may not have loved you well. You may or may not have strong spiritual fathers in your life. But you ARE loved by THE FATHER!! You are no longer orphans!! You have been chosen and adopted into the family of Christ!! Maybe adopted doesn’t sound good to you; but let me tell you something. In Jesus time when someone was adopted it was forever! The same father that adopted someone could disown his own flesh and blood but he couldn’t with an adopted child! The adopted had security!! You ARE SECURED in HIS LOVE!! If you don’t know the fathers love I encourage you to go into your secret place and seek Him! Ask Him to show you!! Oh.My.Word!! The love the love the love!! I can’t even!!
Lord I pray right now that you would begin revealing your love to these dear ones that need a deeper revelation of your love for them! Lord take those orphans and give them sonship and daughtership! Break the lies and the strongholds and bring freedom with your LOVE!!
Oh friends, I wish I could elegantly write of his love for us that would just penetrate to those deep hurting and longing places. I desire deeply for you to know the love of the father!! You are so loved!! He is the father to the fatherless!!! His love is never ending, covers all sins, cannot be lost or taken. It’s not dependent on you or what you have done but what Jesus has done for you to make a way!!
Live loved friends!! You are loved by a Mighty God!!
