"Beloved, we are God's children now;
what we shall be has not yet been revealed. " 1 John 2:32(?)
And why does it matter?
Think about how much you love your own children. Think about how your heart melts when they ask forgiveness. And now turn that to the true majesty who is Lord and Creator of All. We are dim reflections of His glory. So what is true for us is more true of Him.
Remembering who we are is a wonderful way to embark on a new year. Let us recall and place ourselves under His headship. He is Lord, Creator, Master of all, and Father whose heart breaks with love.
Amen! Remembering who we are is key to becoming who we are. And it is so easy to get distracted and forget who we really are. Thanks for the reminder.
