A Child of the King

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" Romans 8:14-16

Every morning before my bible reading and prayer time, I sing a hymn.  This morning's hymn was, A Child of the King.  As I sang each word, verse by verse and then the chorus, my heart grew.  By the time I sang the last word, my heart was full and overflowing with gratefulness.

I'm a Child of The King!

Sometimes in the mess of everyday life, I forget that I'm a child of The King.  My bank account is low, I feel like I don't belong anywhere; my four walls of my tiny house seem to be closing in.  And then through the words of a simple hymn, God reminds me of Who I am because of Who He is!  I'm a child of The King!

My bank account may be low, but my Father's coffers are full and His riches are untold!

I may feel like a stranger, an outcast and like I don't belong, but I've been adopted and I'm accepted in the beloved! "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."

Ephesians 1:6

My house may be small, but it's warm and contains all I need for my family and friends to gather for food and fellowship while I wait for my mansion on high that my Father is preparing for me!

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And wither I go ye know, and the way ye know." Words of Jesus, John 14:1-4

That you God for reminding me today, that I belong to you, and I am your child.

    All Glory to God...

        I'm a child of The King....!

            But that's just me!

"Child of God, you cost Christ too much for Him to forget you." Charles Spurgeon
