Known and Loved

Bible Reading: Luke 15:11-32
Focus Verse: John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

There's something so wonderful about being KNOWN and LOVED.
To be known and not loved is heartbreaking and rejected.
To be loved without allowing yourself to be known is not satisfying and lonely.

If you find that you are known and loved by your family and friends it makes this life much more wonderful! 

The prodigal son was known by his father.  The son rejected everything his father had taught him and turned away from him.  The father always lovingly watched for the son.  The son returned and the father accepted him with love.

We all have flaws and failures in our life.  We disappoint others and ourselves.  There are things about us that we wish we could change.

But you should know that God knows you and loves you and is calling you to Himself. He wants a relationship with you and me.  He wants to be the one to love you where you are and to give you the power to become transformed.  It's beautiful and mysterious so answer the call. You will never regret.
