The Right to Be Loved

Every one of us is God's favorite child.

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me but the One who sent Me."

Mark 9:37 (NIV)

All of us are little children in His eyes. And we are precious, valuable, important children. Each one of us has an equal right to be loved, cherished and held by the Father. We are all equally worthy of His love and attention and affection. We are all equally worthy of having Him attend to our needs and hear and answer our cries for help. For we are all equally His beloved creations, His offspring, His little children. Jesus said receiving a little one, a child, was just like receiving Him and even like receiving the Father Himself. He gives us that high of a value in His eyes! Each of us is truly His favorite person, His infinitely adored child.

A Thought: I have just as much right to be loved by God and helped by God as any other person!


May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
