GOD’S CHILDREN

A Sunday School Superintendent had two new brothers in Sunday School. When registering them he asked their ages and birthdays. One said, “We’re both seven. My birthday is April 8, 2001, and my brother’s is April 20, 2001.”

“But, that’s impossible!” answered the Superintendent. 

“No, it’s not,” replied the other brother. “One of us is adopted.”

Without thinking, the Superintendant asked, “Which one?”

The boys looked at each other and smiled, and the first brother said, “We asked Dad awhile ago, but he just said he loved us, and he couldn’t remember any more which one was adopted.”

In Romans 8:17 Paul writes, “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Adoption means we’re children of God. Let’s live like it!

Wow that is heavy. Co heirs with Christ.
I have had many down falls since i accepted Christ as my savior. When i came back to church a few months ago i was determined to not let anything or anyone steer me from my walk with Him. I prayed to God to let me know when i have stepped out side of my walk with Him. Now i remember being corrected when i was a child and it was not pleasant. And to be corrected by our Savior is not pleasant either. The difference is He forgives when humans have a harder time forgiving. These past few months have been rough. I am determined to never give up. This blog today surley is a help to me. The sufferings i may indure in my Walk with Him are nothing compared to the sufferings of Jesus. Although i have failed Him many times in my human nature, He still does not disown me and i am still his sister and still share His glory. Thank you for the blog and thank you Jesus!

Good story!! As I read the story, it came to mind that we are all equal in God’s eyes. What He has done for others, He will do for me. We spend way too much time trying to figure things out. The scripture in Galatians 3:28 came to mind; There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you all are one in Christ Jesus. Doesn’t matter if we were born into the faith yesterday or 65 years ago, we are all brother and sisters in Christ. We all have to remember to treat each other as family like the father did his 2 sons. GOD BLESS YOUR DAY!!

When I adopted Luke, our status in God’s eyes finally became real to me. I love Luke every bit as much as I do Brennan. There really is no difference!
