Good morning, Family:
I pray that you are in a place of peace and joy in the Lord. Family, no matter what we may go through, God is always with us. May we continually place our trust and hope in the Lord.
We know that no one is perfect. Many of us may have stories to tell about what we did or didn’t have growing up. Our parents, or those assigned to be our caregivers (grandparents, aunt, uncle, foster parents, etc.) are not perfect. For the most part, they each gave according to what they had inside. We are human and we are fallible.
I can say that it has been my truth that God has been so much more than just a parent. God has been, at times, a mother, sister, brother, best friend, pastor, preacher, and friend. God is omnipotent, eternal, and all-powerful. The same God that hung the moon, sun, stars, and galaxies is the same God that created you and me.
Scriptures of Hope and Declaration
Romans 8:12-17
New King James Version
Sonship Through the Spirit
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,[a] Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Song of Worship and Adoration
Family, may I encourage you to keep this song and scripture passage in your heart. For three days this week, the Holy Spirit woke me up with the song Abba by Marizu. The song encompasses all we need to know in terms of our priorities.
May you find peace in knowing that God already has it under control. I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
