And even if you have the very best Dad
in the whole world, he is merely a shadow
—an image bearer—
of our perfect and eternal Father.
We are fully known and fully loved
by the only perfect Father
in all the universe.
See what great love
the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called
children of God!
And that is what we are!
1 JOHN 3:1
