No Strings Attached

Colossians 3:24
"Since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. it is the Lord Christ you are serving."

There is no doubt that my aunt Jill, Gramma and aunt Jenny in this picture love my son Oscar to the depths of their soul.
They've wrapped around him in awe, cooing and taking in his every movement. (I just happened to capture that moment on film)
Oscar couldn't do anything right or differently to bask in their love any more than he already does.
Oscar has done nothing but exist, and even that was not his own doing.
They are captivated and completely in love, no strings attached.

God in His love for us has already given us everything. All the inheritance of His kingdom and the authority to rule with His Son Jesus.
We have all of His power at our fingertips, His glory through us,  and yet we have done nothing but exist and even that was not by our own doing.
There is nothing we can do to attract God or make Him love us more. He created you and me, we exist and He is completely captivated, He loves us, no strings attached.

If you go to God today, you go not to get something from Him. You go because you want to be with him. You go to Him to spend time with Him, you put aside your worries and wish lists.
You already have everything pertaining to life.
(we already have everything He has given us but all will make sense and you will see all the effects of His glory in us when we enter eternity)
