Children of God

Bible in a Year:

• Job 3–4
• Acts 7:44–60

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love.

Ephesians 5:1–2

I once spoke at a secular conference for childless couples. Heartbroken over their infertility, many attendees despaired at their future. Having walked the childless path too, I tried to encourage them. “You can have a meaningful identity without becoming parents,” I said. “I believe you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and there’s new purpose for you to find.”

A woman later approached me in tears. “Thank you,” she said. “I’ve felt worthless being childless and needed to hear that I’m fearfully and wonderfully made.” I asked the woman if she was a believer in Jesus. “I walked away from God years ago,” she said. “But I need a relationship with Him again.”

Times like this remind me how profound the gospel is. Some identities, like “mother” and “father,” are hard for some to attain. Others, like those based on a career, can be lost through unemployment. But through Jesus we become God’s “dearly loved children”—an identity that can never be stolen (Ephesians 5:1). And then we can “walk in the way of love”—a life purpose that transcends any role or employment status (v. 2).

All human beings are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14), and those who follow Jesus become children of God (John 1:12–13). Once in despair, that woman left in hope—about to find an identity and purpose bigger than this world can give.

Reflect & Pray

Is there someone in despair whom you can affirm as “wonderfully made” today? With whom can you share the offer of becoming a child of God?

Father, life in all its fullness is Yours alone to give. I open my hands to accept it.

How are you?
Did you get any of the rain that moved recently across the country?

[luvie]

All is good here. It’s hotter than I prefer, but it’s summer, so this is what we get. LOL!

[PROCON]

Hey Beachie, we're definitely getting an early taste of the dog days of summer, it's been creeping up towards triple digits lately and a few forecasts say 113 degrees by Monday, now that's HOT!

Other than that not doing too much.

'Sup with you?

[caww]

Luvie....we had 44 degree weather (in the morning) a day or so ago here in Western Pa. Actually baked coookies to warm things up a bit!

[beachn4fun]

Eeek! Please no triple digits!!!!

We’ve been enjoying 70s-80s in the daytime and 50s at night.

I know it won’t last but it’s been a real treat...but please don’t want anything higher than low 90s. Yeah, I’m picky. LOL

[beachn4fun]

Good evening caww.

I thought we were chilly with mid-50s overnight but brrrr.
...still a good excuse to make cookies ;)
