... your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! (Matthew 6:8 NLT)
How much does God know?
One little boy named Charles wrote, "Dear God, do you know about things before they're invented?"
He still loves us immensely!
God knows a lot about you. The Bible says he knows how many hairs are on your head - or in some cases, he knows how many hairs are not on your head. And even though he knows all about the times we do wrong - our selfishness and greed, our ugliness and bad - he still loves us immensely and eternally. Now that's love.
His love is even greater than your mother's love or your father's love. And those who may have had moms and dads who are less than what you're needing, you can rest assured that you have a real Father who is kinder, bigger, better, and more loving than even our own moms and dads.
Just thought you'd like to know that today!
