Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-begotten. If we love the One who conceives the child, we’ll surely love the child who was conceived. The reality test on whether or not we love God’s children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands? The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome. 1 John‬ ‭5:1-3‬ ‭(msg)

There is no other way to love God’s children except through God’s Spirit. His commandments aren’t troublesome; they are the opposite. They are freedom. Believe He is enough. Live He is enough. Breathe He is enough. The sweet release of being His.

Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world’s ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John‬ ‭5:4-5 (msg)‬

This is the conquering power!!! Faith. The world has no power over Him. Knowing whose we are. And in case no one has told you today. You are loved by the most beautiful, loving Creator. You are His child, His creation, His love. He loves you more than we will ever fully understand – and this love never changes or falters or fails. 

“So many people don’t know who God is or what He’s capable of doing. Their ignorance doesn’t make God less of a being; it makes them less. Until they know, they can’t be whole.” -Donita K. Paul
