Colossians 3:12-17   12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,. . .

Yesterday's entry was over the same set of verses above, but as I gave it a quick glance today, the Holy Spirit highlighted just what I was needing.   "Dearly loved".  For all I have written these past several days about joy, service, individual holiness, etc., the bottom line is that we are "dearly loved" by our heavenly Father.

Sinner, saint- dearly loved.  Homosexual, straight- dearly loved.  Prince, pauper- dearly loved.  While we were yet sinners, God loved us enough to send his ONLY Son to die a horrible death just to provide each of us a path to an eternity with Him.

We are dearly loved.  You are dearly loved.  I am dearly loved.
