See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know him.
- 1 John 3:1

Jesus, help me remember that when the world is hostile to me, that it was hostile to You first. Help me look upon the world with compassion and pity, for I was once lost in darkness too, but now am a child of God. I rejoice that I have been adopted into Your family. Amen.
