2 Corinthians 6:18 (ESV)
And I will be a father to you,
and you shall be
sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.
“You’ll be sons and daughters to me.”
Every good father has a dream for his children. “I’ll be a
Father to you.” That’s been His plan since before the foundation of the world.
But there’s more. Not only does God want us to know His true identity; He also
wants us to know our true identity. If He is our Father, then what does that
make us? If we choose to follow His Son, Jesus Christ, it makes us His sons and
daughters. This is the greatest joy of all—to know that God is the Father we’ve
all been waiting for, and to revel in the privilege of being His adopted sons
and daughters. This is His dream for our lives. Let’s make it our highest goal
to enter into the fullness of what it means to be the sons and daughters of the
greatest Father of all. Let’s make it our life’s goal to be the best sons and
the best daughters that we could possibly be to our Father in Heaven. This is
the Father’s dream for our lives. Let’s make it our dream too!
Dear Lord, we thank You that You’ve called us to be Your
adopted child. Help us to build our identity on this wonderful honor. In the
Name of Jesus, Amen.
