Children…of God.

 

Jesus is the Son of God, therefore a child of God.
We are by the grace of Jesus, the children of God.
In the opening chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus is 
“The Word of God”
even before the written word; 
He is from the very beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him nothing would exist. And as the Spirit reveals, The Word is the source of life.

John 1: 12- 13 translates thusly; that because of Jesus we become children of God.
God is our Father, so now, you may know… If your parents died or were absent, even by circumstance, if they rejected you or abused you, or even allowed it, if they liked you or despised you, if they felt you were a blessing or a burden or told you, that you were unexpected or unwanted, if they treated you well or poorly, if they were there for you or not, if they physically or mentally hurt you, if you were the butt of their comments or bad humor, even if you were a scapegoat for their own inadequacies or failings or weaknesses, if you feel your need is to be accepted by them even now or to be loved by them; so now no matter what the case may be, with your biological parents today or ever, now you are in Christ Jesus… God is your Father!

You are here on the face of this earth because He created you… because He loves you!
You were in darkness as to the reason of your/our existence and the light has come into our lives to reveal the truth. 
You are a child of God. 
Jesus said, “The Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus” John17:23
Once we recognize ourselves as a child of God, we are no longer singular. We are part of the family of God with Jesus we become together, “The Children of God” “We are Children of the Light”
He is the light of the world, and we were created to be in that light with Him and each other.
Do you know you are loved?
Do you feel loved or are you still feeling empty?
In Christ you must know the love of God and the fullness, completeness of that love to be a servant.
Too many are trying to serve others without the fullness of, the love of Jesus and this is the root of carnality.
Carnal Christians serve from self-love. They focus on the gifts of the Spirit and lack the fruit… which is love.
If we are loved as much as Jesus and Jesus is God… God is revealing He loves us as much as He loves Himself!!!!
How Great a love… it dwarfs any thought or idea we may have, it pales any feelings we may have thought were love… 
This is the Good News!
Jesus is all the love there is forever and by the Holy Spirit it is in us!!!
Dwell on that… Meditate on that, let this be your center… be filled… be overflowing… and sharing…
This is why joy is the second fruit of the Spirit… When we receive His love and it overcomes our selfish love, our flesh is overwhelmed, this allows us to know and feel the joy in us.
That joy is the joy Jesus has for us at our receiving His love, and He shares it with us.
The joy of the Lord is indeed our strength!
Overcoming our flesh we can share the love that sets us free and we do it joyfully as His joy consumes us.
You are loved… 
but you must receive it and the fullness of it by faith.

Men have twisted and turned the Good News back into powerless words, a loveless set of rules much like the law, some have even reverted to the law, because of their lack of love. Have you? Do you still have one foot in the law/world because your first love has ebbed or because you never were filled by His love?
Take the time to dwell and meditate on the love of Jesus, pray and just get before Him and do nothing but drink from the abundance of His love until your joy is full.
God is love and those that serve Him abound in that love…
Come back to your first love… 
be filled with living water… the world thirsts…
The world has everything even rules and the law… but it lacks one thing.
The love of Jesus… alive in you!
Let it be full, let it be your all… The Father loves you as He loves Himself!
We are one in His love… 
welcome to the family, we are his beloved children…
