Daughter of God

Since a very young age, I have always known I am a child of God. In today's reading though, August 3, the author made a point of letting us know that we (women) are His daughter's. WOW, that just struck me so differently! In 31 years, I have never thought of it that way.
 
Are any of you Daddy's girls? I think all of my sisters and I are. There is anything I wouldn't do for my Dad. I hate, yes I just used hate, to disappoint him. I don't think there are too many things in the world that would hurt me more than to know I have disappointed him. I strive to make him proud of me and I love him beyond words and I know that he loves me, no matter what, even when I have felt unlovable. Putting God's love into this perspective, for me, was huge. To understand His love even more than I thought I already did, amazing. I am truly blessed, we all are, as daughter's and son's of God, to experience His unconditional love, to be loved AND forgiven even when we feel it's not possible or not worthy. Wow, what a day!
