In the heart of our week on being the child of God, we're going to take time today to look at how we can position ourselves to receive the wealth of Fatherly affections that God has for us.

God's love changes everything. Wherever you need a sense of his love, wherever you

have need, I pray that the Father gives you a profound revelation of

his love there today. Welcome to the First of Team Podcast. So, Our verse of today comes from Psalm 36 verse of today comes from Psalm 36 verse 5.

Scrippure says, your steadfast love, a Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

Being the child of God gives us an open invitation into the endless affections our

Heavenly Father has for us. There is no end to the wealth of God's love. There's no limit to how deeply and

tangibly we can experience his heart. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we can

live our lives totally and completely experiencing the love of the

Creator and sustainer of all.

Psalm 36-5 says, your steadfast love, oh Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

When you look across the horizon, as far as your eye can see, picture the arms of your heavenly the When you see the clouds in their immensity and wonder,

picture the enormity of your God's faithful love toward you.

So great is the wealth of affections your Heavenly Father has toward you, that he would send his pure,

blameless son as payment for the sins that have kept you from experiencing his love.

So great was his desire for you to know his heart

that Jesus gave his life,

creating a bridge across the vast chasm of sin

that separated you and the father.

Fris Shan Fortin says, and this is love,

not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the perpetuation for our sins.

Most of us wander through life, looking for any source of love we can find.
