No matter how hopeless our circumstances may seem, God is up to something deep in our lives, calling us to a higher calling and purpose in our lives:
- a love for us to experience that can transform us,
- a battle for us to engage in that is worth fighting, and
- a story for us to live in that is far bigger and better than we have known.
A beloved son [or daughter] of God is one who experiences the unconditional love of his Father in a way that deeply impacts him and leaves him with:
- nothing to hide,
- nothing to prove, and
- nothing to fear.
