I John 3:1a “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!” When children are raised by loving parents they live in a beautiful world.  Security, love, discipline and a very bright future are gifts which are wonderful—never seen, always felt.When we are raised by our Heavenly Father all the above happen in perfect form.  In addition, the one important item also included in the above are the gifts of inheritance.  The most important gift: however, which only our God can give is the gift of eternal life.  How wonderful it is to be children of our Heavenly Father.  You and I can never thank Him enough.
