Gracious Father, whose love is beyond measure, we thank you for receiving us as your beloved children and heirs of your kingdom of love, joy, and peace. May we be ever grateful for your generous gift to us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, our brother, teacher, and Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
‘See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are.’ – 1 John 3:1
