Children of God
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:1-2)
Today’s Morsel: Do you know what a privilege it is to be called God’s children? Just think about it for a moment. If you have been born-again of the water and the Spirit, the God of all creation is your Heavenly Father, and that make you heirs of God and Christ. Everything that God has, you have access to it. This is why I don’t understand why some of His children live below their privileges. When we read the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, the story tells us of the son, “And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!” (Luke 15:17) Notice, he knew what his father had and there was no need for him to be in the place and condition that he was in. He just needed to go home to his father. Why are you still living in the condition and going through the things that you are going through? You, too, can come home. You don’t have to keep living in depression, hopelessness, and despair. Get up and go home. The Father is waiting on you to come home. He has all you need.
Sing: Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, come to Jesus, just now; Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, come to Jesus, just now.
Thought For Today: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
