We are children of
God. We are related to the creator of
the World. Wow! If anyone ever tells you that you are not
worth much, don't believe it. Tell them
that you are a child of God; you belong to a royal family.
We have a Father
who loves and cherishes us even though at times we sin against Him.
In an old Reader's Digest, a contributor told of an Aunt Ruby and Uncle Arnie who had adopted a baby boy after five years of trying unsuccessfully to conceive. To their surprise, a short time after the adoption, Aunt Ruby discovered she was pregnant, and she later gave birth to a boy. One day when the two boys were eight and nine years old, the teller of the story was visiting Aunt Ruby, and a woman in the neighborhood came to visit. Observing the children at play, the woman asked, "Which boy is yours, Ruby?" "Both of them," Aunt Ruby replied. The visitor persisted. "But I mean, which one is adopted?" Aunt Ruby did not hesitate. In her finest hour, she looked straight at her guest and replied, "I've forgotten."
When we are adopted
as God's children, we quickly come to cherish our heavenly Father's love and
forgetfulness. How you may ask? Because
He chooses to forget our sins, to forget our wayward past, and to give us the
full rights of sons or daughters. We
have royal blood flowing through our veins.
We must always remember that we are God's children.
