Happy Children's Day

In recent days, I have been thinking a lot about being a child of God. Maybe it's because subconsciously I knew children's day was fast approaching or maybe it's because I feel like I am falling short and I need to do more with regards to being a child of God (I think it's more of the latter🙈). Check out what I wrote in the previous children's day.

God created heaven and earth; he created everything and everyone but that does not make everyone children of God. You become a child of God when you receive Jesus and believe in His Name (John 1:12-13).

Being a child of God involves having a relationship with God, being obedient to Him, walking in His precepts among other things. There are times we think that it's our activities for God or service to God that makes us worthy of being children of God forgetting that He loves us first and it's really not about what we do. There are other times we feel overwhelmed and doubt if we really are a child of God.

The truth is that God is not in the business of casting out any child. Even if you feel you have messed up or unworthy of being a child of God, you can still return. He is steadily waiting for you to come back. 

This post is mainly to give a shout out to everyone out there doing their best in being a child of God and here it goes;

Shout out to you for believing that Jesus is the son of God and that you have been adopted into the fold.

Shout out to you child of God for loving God with all of your heart and even loving others unconditionally.

Shout out to you child of God for doing your best to shun evil and do what is right and acceptable to God.

Shout out to you child of God for accepting that old things have passed away and that all things have become new; and for living in that newness of life.

Shout out to you child of God for constant believing that Your Father is able to supply all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.

Shout out to you child of God for believing that you are no longer a slave to sin but that you are a child of God.

Shout out to you child of God for constantly accepting the discipline and teachings of God with meekness.

Shout out to you child of God for always obeying God and not doing anything He wouldn't be proud of you for.

Shout out to you child of God for regularly carrying out your duty of sharing the good news of Christ to others; inviting them into the fold and into becoming children of God.

Shout out to you child of God for living pure and being a temple of God.

Shout out to you for being little Christ on earth; giving salt to the earth and radiating light.

Shout out to you for regularly renewing your minds and not conforming, even in this crazy and perverse world.

This is not to overwhelm you but encourage you to carry on in being a child of God. You are not alone. And if you feel you are not in right standing with God, you can always retrace your steps. God loves it when you return. He is the one that leaves the ninety-nine just for one. He wants you home!

Thank you for reading and stay blessed!
