Our Daily Grace: Always God's Child

"Jesus came to show us who we are: God's children."

"We all come from Him. We are actually His children."

Acts 17:28

All people are God's offspring, His children. In the parable of the prodigal son, the two children of the father were always still sons, no matter what state they were in. And it's true for all of us. Sin may have tried to claim us, but the God who made us has always had the higher claim on us! No matter what sinful situations we have come to, we have always belonged to the Father - we have always been His children. Jesus came to remind this world that even if we killed Him, He was still our brother and God still called us His children.  You have never been orphaned or rejected or alone; you have always been God's child!

A Thought: I have always belonged in God's family and in God's arms!

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
