0101 我愛你，因為你是我的孩子
我愛你，只因為你是我的孩子；我因同樣的緣故而喜悅你。我創造你，不是要你四處奔波、替我完成任務。我創造你，是因為我想與你分享我的愛。在你尚未在母腹中成形之前，我就渴慕你，把你珍藏在我的心裡。
我創造你，並不是你能為我做些什麼。我只想毫無保留地把我的愛傾倒在你身上。它是如此深的愛，幾乎難以用言語表達。這就是我對你的心意。你不是帶着從我這裡領到一張“待辦清單”而出生；我不是在流水線上創造了你。當你還在母腹中時，我就開始把愛傾注在你身上。我花時間用心地編織你存有的每一個細節。我愛你，只因為我愛你。
神愛世人就是這樣——祂將自己獨一、獨特的兒子賜下，作為禮物，使一切信他的人不至滅亡，反得永恆的生命。因為神差他的兒子降世，不是要審判、定罪世人，乃是要作世人的救主，拯救世界！ —— 約翰福音 3:16-17
I love you because you are my child.
I love you simply because you are my child. I enjoy you for the same reason. I didn’t create you so you could run around doing my bidding. I created you because I want to share my love with you. I desired you and held you in my heart before you were formed in your mother’s womb.
I didn’t create you so that you could do something for me. I simply want to pour my love into you-without reservation. It’s a love so deep; it is hard to put into words. This is how I feel about you. You weren’t born with a to-do list from me. I didn’t create you on a mass production line. I started pouring love into you when you were in your mother’s womb. I took my time and weaved every detail of your being. I love you simply because I love you.
This is how much God loved the world-he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life. God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it! — JOHN 3:16-17
