Tonight and every night I remind my daughter that she can be a princess if she wants to be one. I’m not feeding her some fairy tale dream; rather I am very serious when I tell her that she can be a princess. Not only can our daughters be princesses, but our sons can be princes if they choose to be.
God is Lord of all things visible and invisible; He created the world and all the heavens. “Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalms 33:8-9. The Bible tells us that God made Heaven His throne and the earth His footstool (Isaiah 66:1). God is King!
Everyone who accepts Christ as Lord and Savior is brought into God’s family. They receive a new identity as the sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, and are children of God. “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1a. Rom 8:15b says that we “received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” The word adoption in the New Testament Roman legal terms refers to a legal action by which a person takes into their family a person not their own, but with the purpose of treating them as their own. Legally this child is entitled to all rights and privileges of a natural-born child. Each of us who accepts Christ is adopted into God’s family with Him as our Father.
God is not an impersonal Father, but a Dad who loves His children. He desires a relationship with you and your family, so that He may share His eternal wealth and blessings. This month teach your children to know and love God. Tell them that He is their heavenly Father who loves them and that in Christ they are princes and princesses.
“I come with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved, and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me.” (Quoted from Come with Joy, A Child of God by Brian Wren)
