Amazing!
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! (1 JOHN 3:1)
I read these words on a girl’s blog recently: “I just want to be loved—and he has to be amazing!”
Isn’t that what we all want – to be loved, to feel special to someone? And so much the better if he or she is “amazing”!
The person who best fits that description is Jesus. In a display of amazing love, He left His Father in heaven and came to earth as a tiny, helpless baby (LUKE 2). Then, after living a perfect life, He gave His life as a sacrifice on the cross in our place (JOHN 19:17-30). He took our place because we needed to be rescued from our sin and its death penalty. “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (ROM. 5:8). Then three days later, the Father raised Jesus to life again (MATT. 28:1-8).
When we say sorry and give our lives to Jesus, we get to enjoy His amazing love! He becomes our Saviour (JOHN 1:12; ROM. 5:9), Lord (JOHN 13:14), teacher (MATT. 23:8) and friend (JOHN 15:14). “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 JOHN 3:1). Looking for someone to love you? Jesus loves us so much more than anyone else could. And He is truly amazing!
To Pray About . . .
Jesus, thank You for Your amazing love. No matter what love I find during my life on earth, I know Your love is best and will last forever! And, I love you, too.
WE WON’T FIND A LOVE MORE AMAZING THAN THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR US!

About the Our Daily Bread Ministries
In 1938, the ministry started with a radio program called Detroit Bible Class. Since then, our audience has grown from a small group of dedicated radio listeners to millions of people around the world who use our Bible-based resources.
Over the years our name has changed to better reflect the variety of resources we offer. Today, we realize that most people recognize who we are by the well-loved devotional Our Daily Bread. So we changed our name to Our Daily Bread Ministries to more clearly communicate who we are. Although our name has changed, our focus remains the same: reaching out to people all around the world with the message of God’s love.
We’re a non-denominational, non-profit organization with staff and volunteers in over 37 offices working together to distribute more than 60 million resources in 150 countries. Regardless of whether it’s a radio or television broadcast, DVD, podcast, book, mobile app, or website, we provide materials to help people grow in their relationship with God.
