Change the Way you Think
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2
WEEK 4 (March 22 – March 28, 2021)
You are God’s Child
By Hope McCardy & Rashad McCardy
For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
– Romans 8:16
None of us come from perfect homes. Some households may be better than others, but all have their own peculiar quirks and their own characteristic set of dysfunctions. Hence, we all have various issues that we have to deal with, and many of us know what it is like to feel invisible and unloved. A few of us may have even been told that we were unwanted.
But God steps in….
It is so reassuring to know that, though our human parents may not have had all the answers to our many questions, God does. And He is willing to supply our every need. Plus, it doesn’t really matter how we feel. Yes, our feelings are important, but feelings can be fickle – so unpredictable at times. However, His love for us is eternal. It does not change. It is endless. We didn’t earn it, nor do we deserve it. Our heavenly Father has chosen to give His agape love to us freely.
Why? Because we are His beloved children.
My Prayer
(Pray for your husband and children as well)
Lord, thank You that I can call you Abba Father; I can look to You for my every need and desire. I love You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Memo to Self
Remind yourself frequently that you are God’s child. Your spirit is a part of His.
Changing the Way you Think
- My Old Way of Thinking: I am not enough. I am unloved.
- My New Way of Thinking: I am a child of God. I was chosen by the King of kings. My Abba Father eternally loves me.
