Do you have a picture of your adorable dog or cute kitty in your wallet or possibly on your phone?<\/p>\n<p>Did you put your pretty pooch\u2019s or fierce feline\u2019s photo on your holiday cards last year? Do you find yourself telling funny stories about your doggie or cat? That\u2019s just how proud parents behave. We can\u2019t help ourselves, can we?<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"474\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-40051\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/michelle-medlock-adams-mollie-mae-350.jpg\" style=\"width: 350px; height: 474px; margin: 5px; float: right;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/michelle-medlock-adams-mollie-mae-350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/michelle-medlock-adams-mollie-mae-350-340x460.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>I\u2019m guilty of this. I often post pictures of Mollie Mae, our adorable, chubby dachshund, on Facebook. I love to share funny stories about her antics, and I gravitate toward all things dachshund. I also love to buy presents for Mollie. Just last week I bought her a new blinged-out collar\u2013purple with rhinestones. She looks so cute in it, and she knows it!<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, we love to dote on our kids\u2013even the canine and feline ones. Well, guess what? That\u2019s exactly how God is. He is a doting parent, too. If he had a \u201cDaddy\u2019s Brag Book,\u201d our pictures would be in it! And just like I couldn\u2019t wait to buy Mollie Mae a new blinged-out collar, God loves to give his children good gifts. The Bible says, \u201cIf you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!\u201d (Luke 11:13).<\/p>\n<p>So many people fail to realize that God truly loves them. It doesn\u2019t matter where you came from or what you\u2019ve done, God loves you! My friend Victoria Osteen often says, \u201cGod isn\u2019t mad at you. He is madly in love with you.\u201d That\u2019s good, isn\u2019t it? In fact, God adores us\u2013flaws and all. He loves us when we behave badly. He loves us when we disobey him. He loves us even when we don\u2019t love ourselves. God loves us no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so thankful that God\u2019s love for me isn\u2019t performance-based, much like my love for Mollie Mae isn\u2019t based on her ability (or lack of ability) to shake paw or roll over on command. We don\u2019t love our dogs because they are the smartest or the cutest or the bravest. We don\u2019t love our pets because they do great feats on our behalf. We love them simply because they are ours. I\u2019m so thankful that my heavenly Father loves me with an unconditional love simply because I belong to Him; aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Take time today and thank God for loving you with an unconditional love. Pray, <em>Father, I just want to praise you right now for loving me the way that you do. I am so thankful that I belong to you. Amen.<\/em> Meditate on the vastness of God\u2019s love for you today, and let him know just how much you love him. And while you\u2019re at it, give your pets some extra TLC today, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
