slave or son!!??

Galatians 4:6-7 says,
"God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."

Do you ever wander away from God?? Do you ever just get so busy that there seems to be no time to give God attention??
It seems that there are so many things to do that we simply put God lower and lower on the priorities list because we think "well...God is always there...He'll take care of me"

I's gonna be honest with you...i do this...a lot

I get so busy and I seem to push God out...

but yet our souls are crying out!! they are crying out to God, the Creator of the universe, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Father.

then, when we don't turn to God with our time and our choices things seem to start to get harder.

problems start to arise
temptation seems to be overwhelming
everything seems to be going against us
we start to lose hope

we've all been there...it sucks

but the best part is this...
"WE ARE NO LONGER SLAVES, BUT A CHILD"

did you get that??

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD!!!

we don't have to think we aren't worth it
we don't have to listen to the lies anymore
we don't have to think God has forgotten about us
we don't have to feel worthless anymore

we have a promise...
because we are God's children He has a plan for us..

a plan not to harm us
not to do us wrong
but a plan of hope
peace
love
joy


that is something to celebrate!!

Abba, Father
Thank you for giving us a future and a hope. Thank you for your Son Jesus Christ and what He has done for us, your children.
We owe you our lives.
I pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ who have forgotten that they need you. They have lost focus and have tried to go their own way.
Father! I pray that you be merciful to them and that you will show them a way back to your perfect will for their lives.
Thank you Father!!!

your servant,
joe
