Day 36 "You Are A Child of God"
Beauty of Care-Free Laughter
Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!
“Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.” Romans 8:15 (b)-16 NLT.
What a wonderful truth we look at today, on Father’s Day in the US. We are God’s children - He is our father. Our identity as a child of God means that we rely fully on God and trust in His plan for our lives. Just like a child trusts their parents fully to guide them and protect them when they’re young, we should trust God as we navigate our journey through life with Him as our Father.
God has allowed us to have a care-free life, just as if we were still children. We will have troubles, Jesus said we would, but because He is here to carry our burdens, in our most inner being, we can still be at peace - like a child. Do you believe it? Selah.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, do you identify yourself as a child of God? Do you accept God as your Heavenly Father, meaning that He is a father figure in your life? Do you look to Him to guide and protect you just like an Earthly father would for his children? Selah.
For those of you who do not have a good relationship with your Earthly father, or none at all, I know this is a difficult concept to grasp. Please open your heart to the love your Abba Father has for you. Spend time today crying out to Him for all the love, encouragement, support, and protection you didn’t receive from your Earthly father. You can trust Him, the One who created you loves you. Selah.
