Day 36 "You Are A Child Of God"
No Better Name
Good Morning Beauties!
“With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.” Psalm 86:12-13 (NLT)
Today we discover all God wants us to know about our Eternal title, Child of God. In the song, You Are Beautiful, you may have noticed the crescendo and key change as the final verse was sung. All the other attributes have culminated to this final truth - you are a Child of God. Take that truth in and journal about those thoughts and feelings you have right now. Selah.
I believe there is no other name, position, or designation that compares. As long as I know I’m a Child of God, no other title a person could give me matters at all….BUT, I must first know and believe who I am in Christ.
God has clearly spoken his truth to us in 1 John 3:1. I am including many versions here so that the Holy Spirit will speak to your heart through them in various ways. Take time to slowly read through them all and journal what you hear the Spirit say.
