We are God’s Children.

THE SPIRIT HIMSELF BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. ROMANS 8:16 *NKJV
Indeed we are God’s Children for GOD SENT FORTH HIS SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW, TO REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW, THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION AS SONS. AND BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS, GOD HAS SENT FORTH THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS. GALATIANS 4:4-6
The Apostle Paul used adoption or “son ship” to illustrate to us, the believer’s new relationship with God. For when a person becomes a Christian, he or she gains all the privileges and responsibilities of a Child in God’s family.
One of these privileges is being lead by the Spirit. Now we may not always feel as though we belong to God, but the Holy Spirit is our witness! For His inward presence reminds us of who we are and encourages us with God’s love. For it is written: NOW HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US. ROMANS 5:5
So, have a wonderful day remembering that you are indeed a Child of God Almighty, and an heir as well. For it is written: YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR. Now that should make your day, Indeed! Amen. GALATIANS 4:7

MAY YOUR UNFAILING LOVE REST UPON US, O LORD, EVEN AS WE PUT OUR HOPE IN YOU. PSALM 33:22 *NIV
God’s love for each one of us is tremendous indeed! For every child of His is very important to Him! So today I will share with you something that one of our Sister’s sent to me last week. It speaks of God’s Tremendous love for each of us.
To you my reader,
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
He can live anywhere in the Universe, but He chose your heart.
Now God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
So face it, He is crazy about you!
Therefore let us; GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD; HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER! Amen. 1 CHRONICLES 16:34
God can forgive you.

I SAID, “O LORD, HAVE MERCY ON ME; HEAL ME, FOR I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU.” PSALM 41:4 *NIV
When we fall victim to sin, we may repent of our sins and ask God for forgiveness. For it is written: “COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER,” SAYS THE LORD. “THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED AS CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE LIKE WOOL.” ISAIAH 1:18
This is because IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 1 JOHN 1:9 FOR YOU, LORD ARE GOOD, AND READY TO FORGIVE, AND ABUNDANT IN MERCY TO ALL WHO CALL ON YOU. PSALM 86:5
Further, God has even promised: I WILL FORGIVE THEIR WICKEDNESS AND WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE. HEBREWS 8:12.
So never feel that you have done something that God will not forgive.
Therefore, PRAISE BE TO THE LORD, OUR SAVIOR, WHO DAILY BEARS OUR BURDENS. PSALM 68:19 Praise HIM indeed! Amen.
OH COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN

OH COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN; LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER. PSALM 95:6 *NKJV
Why not attend the Church of your choice today and join others as they worship our Heavenly Father! For it is only fitting that we worship and sing praises to Him as well!
After all we should: GIVE TO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME; AND COME BEFORE HIM. OH, WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS! ( 1 CHRONICLES 16:29 ) Therefore let us, SING TO THE LORD, ALL THE EARTH; PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS OF HIS SALVATION FROM DAY TO DAY. 1 CHRONICLES 16:23
So, let us; PRAISE GOD IN HIS SANCTUARY; PRAISE HIM WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET; PRAISE HIM WITH THE LUTE AND HARP! PRAISE HIM WITH THE TIMBREL AND DANCE; PRAISE HIM WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS AND FLUTES! PRAISE HIM WITH CLASHING CYMBALS! LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PSALM 150:1, PSALM 3-6
Therefore, COME LET US SING TO THE LORD! LET US SHOUT JOYFULLY TO THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION, in our Church today! Amen. PSALM 95:1
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Thinking of who you are.

Jesus Said, “WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN IS MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND MOTHER.” MATTHEW 12:50 *NIV
Now it is written that; YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, FOR ALL OF YOU WHO WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE CLOTHED YOUR SELVES WITH CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, SLAVE NOR FREE, MALE NOR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. GALATIANS 3:26-28
Further; BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS, GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS, THE SPIRIT CALLS OUT, “ABBA, FATHER.” SO YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR. GALATIANS 4:6-7
CONSEQUENTLY, YOU ARE NO LONGER FOREIGNERS AND ALIENS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH GOD’S PEOPLE AND MEMBERS OF GOD’S HOUSEHOLD, BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, WITH JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF AS THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE. EPHESIANS 2:19-20
So; DEAR FRIENDS, NOW WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND WHAT WE WILL BE HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE KNOWN. BUT WE KNOW THAT WHEN HE APPEARS, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. 1 JOHN 3:2
So, when ever you are feeling down and depressed, just think about who you are, an heir of your Heavenly Father! That fact should cheer you up indeed! Amen!
Have a wonderful day!
