Topic: We Are God’s Children [Billy Graham Devotional 11 June 2019]
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the [children] of God . . . —1 John 3:1
As God’s children, we are His dependents. The Bible says, “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.” Dependent children spend little time worrying about meals, clothing, and shelter. They assume, and they have a right to, that all will be provided by their parents. Because God is responsible for our welfare, we are told to cast all our care upon Him, for He careth for us.
