Let Him Love You

"Consider the kind of extravagant love the Father has lavished on us––He calls us children of God! It's true; we are His beloved children."

1 John 3:1 (The Voice)

Over the last few years, I have become convinced that one of the most important issues––perhaps the issue of supreme importance––in the Christian Life is knowing and understanding that we are children of God. And almost all of our problems stem from the fact that we have misunderstood this vital truth.

Two men who have influenced my personal journey in knowing God as my Father are Henri Nouwen and Dennis Jernigan. I've already written here about Nouwen, but I wanted to share one of Dennis' most powerful songs about the love of God, written from Father God's perspective.

So please...shut the door, isolate yourself, and listen to these words from your Father. 

Let Him love you.

A prolific songwriter and author, Dennis Jernigan has been one of the most influential worship leaders for the last 30 years. If you would like to discover more about Dennis and his ministry, you can visit his website, www.dennisjernigan.com.
