I Am A Child Of God

I am a child of God,

And he has sent me here,

Has given me an earthly home

With parents kind and dear.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,

Help me find the way.

Teach me all that I must do

To live with him someday.

 

These are the words of a song commonly sung in our church, especially by the younger children. What does that statement mean to you, "I am a child of God."? To me it means I am a daughter of a King, with reasons to strive to be someone better today than I was yesterday. It means God is my literal Father, and He loves me and knows me personally. I have had so many experiences that have  confirmed to me that this is true. That God is aware of me personally, and He cares deeply about what's going on in my life. He feels that way about you too. I know He does, do you? If not, maybe you just need to ask Him if it's true, and listen for His answer. He will touch you with His sweet spirit and let you know you are His beloved child. Go ahead, just give it a try. . .

The Plan

It's so simple. The ageless questions "Why are we here?", "Where did we come from?", "Where are we going after this life?" really do have answers. The above is a diagram of God's perfect plan for us. The plan we chose to be part of well before we ever came to this earth. It is so just and yet so merciful. I love it! Questions? Post 'em here.
