claims us. He claims us. He calls us his own. He claims us. Anybody else in here got kids?

Ever been tempted to not claim them? Ever been tempted to look at him and go, I don't know who.

Somebody lost a little boy.

Or wives, you look at your husband and say, that's your son. In those moments, you're tempted

to say, I didn't have anything to do with that. Listen, he will never not claim you.

Never. He'll never not claim you. Never.

He'll never not claim you.

In spite of all our stuff, all our junk, all the mistakes, all the sin, every way we've missed it, still he claims me.

Still, he claims you.

Why would he do that?

You ready? Here's the answer. He loves you. He loves you.

And you and I have got to set our eyes on that day after day after day. Get our eyes off situations, get our eyes off circumstances, get our eyes off symptoms, and get our eyes over onto how much our daddy loves us.

And that's what we're going to do this morning.

We're going to take the next few minutes and just set our eyes on the Word, on Jesus,

and when we're doing that, we're looking at love himself amen Father in Jesus

name we worship you today we give you glory and praise Lord because you're so good

to us you're so faithful and kind you've been merciful you've been gracious you've

been forgiving and we thank you for it Lord and today Father we open up your word

and I'm asking you Lord believing today that we receive eyes that see and ears that hear

and hearts that understand give us today eyes that see Jesus and Him only give us ears that hear the voice of our good shepherd who calls us by name and leads us out.

And we believe we received from you today, sir, hearts that understand who we are in Jesus

and who Jesus is in us.
