1 John 2:1 CEB

My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that...

This letter is attributed to the Apostle John, and written in his old age.

An old man bringing all the love and wisdom that he has to encourage and build his readers up.

The Greek word is "teknion", little child, a little child who is deeply loved.

These letters are written to build up, to encourage, to strengthen, to express love to those younger, younger in faith.

That feels like me.

Maybe you don't have anyone like John in your life, someone older, wiser, who dearly loves you, and wants to share what they know in kindness and love.

These letters are here for us for a reason, and perhaps today, the reason is a reminder that the One who dearly loves John, who then writes with kindness and love, loves us.

Loves you.

We are the "teknion", deeply loved children.

Right now.

Deeply loved.
