John 1:12

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”

As the new buds bloom during this month I felt the need to write about who we are in Christ. For those who believe we are God’s Children. This means we are reborn spiritually into the family of Christ, receiving new life from God. This rebirth changes us from the inside out. It rearranges our attitudes, motives, and desires. We are adopted into a new family one that has unconditional love for us. If you’re like me, I never knew what unconditional love before I accepted Jesus as my Savior. For those who have struggled over the years with having unconditional love this can come as a hard pill to swallow. But just let me tell you that God loves you like a father loves a child. Maybe not as a human father does, such as is in my case. My earthly father loved me the best he could, but it does not compare to the heavenly fathers loves me. Are you a child of God?

Dear Lord, help me to see and feel the love you have for me. Please let me know what it means to be your child. Help me to help others see you as their Father and be able to show your unconditional love for them. I praise you that you are mighty and wonderful. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
