As the Father loved Me I also have loved you; abide in My love. John 15:9
Think about it for a long moment…pause and think about it if you will, “We’re children of the One true Living God” — Wow! We are “children” of God.
Sometimes I need to catch my breath at the thought of this overpowering statement, we’re His and He’s ours! Abba Father…our loving “Daddy.”
His word and His promises in the Bible are the ultimate balm and reassurance to our very souls. To know He loves us and will never leave us or forsake us. To know He is with us always, and to know the Holy Spirit guides us, leads us, and touches us through all things, each and everyday now and always.
To accept and embrace His word and His love is like a “rush” of peace that overloads your body with tranquility and encompassing love. He guides and watches us daily and never sleeps…we are the “apple of His eye” and woe to those who try to “hurt” His children.
He will always show us a way out and will never give us more than we can handle. He is wise, compassionate and sees the plans ahead for us…embrace His promise:
1 Corinthians 10:13, NKJV. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
He loves us and wants us to prosper and be healthy, He wants to heal us.. He listens to prayers of His children, and His ears are on the righteous…embrace His promise:
Psalms 103:2-3, NKJV. “Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.”
He will handle those who try to bring us down and He is ever faithful and watchful for us and the generations to come…embrace His promise:
Isaiah 49:25, NKJV. “For I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.”
God wants to reward us, He wants us to remember His promises, as He states in Isaiah to put Him in remembrance of the promises and continue to walk according to His ways.
So God, wanting to ensure that His promises are received allows His children of their own free will. He blesses us, so that we can qualify to receive the promises on the basis of His grace. We had better be glad He does it this way, or we could never be co-inheritors of what Abraham was promised way back in the days of old.
God is the same today as He was yesterday, as He will be tomorrow and forever. He is still in full control and He still offers the same richly rewarding and indelible promises He offered way back then.
He is the proud and happy Father who created us and wants us to be a part of His eternal Kingdom. The choice to follow Him and embrace His promises seems like a “no brainer” and yet some walk in the darkness…it’s for those we should pray, and to those who know Him…Hallelujah!
Next time you look into the mirror and see the image staring back at you, rejoice and shout: “Hallelujah! I’m the child of the One and only Living God! I’m royalty! Amen, and thank you Father…”

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Matthew 11:28-29
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
