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 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 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Psalm 36 verse 5.

Scripture says,

Your steadfast love, O 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 his love.

There is no limit to how deep 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 365 says, your steadfast love, O 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 Father stretching even farther than the faintest speck of blue sky. 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.

1.4.10 says,

In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and sent his son to be the

propitiation for our sins.
