“And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.” — John 17:5
Scripture shows us that the parent-child relationship reflects God’s love for us. The Father doesn’t just exist with the Son—He delights in Him. And that same truth applies to us as His children. God rejoices over us, not because of what we do, but because we are His.
What if we loved our children that way? Not just managing their needs or pushing them toward success, but genuinely delighting in them. Slowing down enough to show them that our love isn’t based on performance, but on presence. The way we love them teaches them not only how to come to us, but how to come to God.
John 17 gives us a glimpse of the deep, loving relationship between Jesus and the Father—honest, close, and full of connection. That’s the kind of relationship we’re invited into with God, and the kind we can reflect in our homes.
Maybe it starts with something simple—putting the phone down, making eye contact, and soaking in the small moments. Because those moments are where love is felt most deeply.
