0101 我爱你，因为你是我的孩子
我爱你，只因为你是我的孩子；我因同样的缘故而喜悦你。我创造你，不是要你四处奔波、替我完成任务。我创造你，是因为我想与你分享我的爱。在你尚未在母腹中成形之前，我就渴慕你，把你珍藏在我的心里。
我创造你，并不是你能为我做些什么。我只想毫无保留地把我的爱倾倒在你身上。它是如此深的爱，几乎难以用言语表达。这就是我对你的心意。你不是带着从我这里领到一张“待办清单”而出生；我不是在流水线上创造了你。当你还在母腹中时，我就开始把爱倾注在你身上。我花时间用心地编织你存有的每一个细节。我爱你，只因为我爱你。
神爱世人就是这样——祂将自己独一、独特的儿子赐下，作为礼物，使一切信他的人不至灭亡，反得永恒的生命。因为神差他的儿子降世，不是要审判、定罪世人，乃是要作世人的救主，拯救世界！ —— 约翰福音 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
