Children of GOD!

 

We are so privileged to be able to call ourselves "heirs with Jesus" and children of GOD!  This is a privilege that comes with responsibility.  As children of GOD, we need to act in a manner that gives all the glory back to GOD.  Therefore we need to be kind, gentle, humble, slow to anger and generous with all the blessings that GOD has lavished on us.

In order to live up to these standards, we need to be in a loving, living relationship with Jesus and GOD our FATHER.  We need to accept the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and we need to humbly ask our FATHER to convict us when we are not living up to this.

If we read the Word of GOD each day and if we pray to GOD about everything, HE will help us to grow to be more like Jesus and less conforming to the ways of this world.  We will find ourselves considering the plight of others before we consider our own plight.  And this is the way it should be.

GOD should be first in our lives, GOD should be last in our lives and we should be last, not first.  Our neighbours must be in the middle.  And then we are in a true relationship with our FATHER in Heaven.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am YOUR child.  Help me to grow to be more like Jesus.  Help me to love my neighbour more than myself.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!
