Children of God

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

October 8, 2024

Sometimes, I wonder how God could have looked down on us and loved us. We are so unlovable, so mean sometimes, so unworthy. In his mercy, God still says to each of us, “I want you; I choose you because I want to be a Father to you.” 

God did not wait until I became ‘good enough’ to be his son or until I had all my doctrines figured out. No, he said, “Even when you were lost in sin, I came to you to be reconciled. I loved you when you were wallowing in filth. I called you, chose you, and adopted you for no other reason than that I love you.”

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God” (1 John 3:1, NKJV). “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). He chose me, not because I loved him first, but because he loved me first. He adopted me as his child only because he loved me. 

This brings me to a wonderful conclusion. I do not have to figure it all out or understand the deep doctrines of justification, sanctification, mortification, or glorification. All I have to know is that he chose me to be his son, which means that I am loved by God the Father. 

It does not matter what Satan tries to throw at me. Nothing can move me from the wonderful knowledge that I am loved and can rest in that love. He chose me. He loves me, will carry me and never abandon me. He will never let go of my hand because he is my Abba Father.

Beloved, I am an earthly father, and you cannot name any reason in heaven or on earth why I would ever abandon or leave one of my children. How much more will your heavenly Father be with you through everything you endure in this life?
