I AM ACCEPTED!

ROMANS 8:15-17 (NRSV)

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heir with Christ-if, in fact, we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Somebody wants you, you are wanted! You have not been rejected by God, no matter who has and who still does throw you away, God has adopted you, taken you in and called you His child. He gave you proof of this adoption by giving you the Holy Spirit.

If you know anything about adoption, you know that the child takes the family name, and the child is entitled to the family inheritance. All that belongs to the family belongs to that child. Medical benefits, the house, the car, and everything else and all else associated with that family.

The bible also says that in Christ Jesus we have obtained an inheritance. (Ephesians 1:11) this is further proof that if you have willingly given your life to Christ, God now considers you one of His very own and everything that a child of God gets you know receive.

Ephesians 1:13-14 (NRSV) In Him you also, when you had heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in Him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of His glory.

This shows that we indeed have this inheritance and as a sign or proof that God was not lying and indeed true to His Word, He gave us the Holy Spirit which He promised us through Jesus Christ before He left the Earth.

You are His, He loves you, He wants you. He has made you His very own and all that you want and need is in Him. A child of a king does not have to beg or cry for assistance, he/she merely asks the king and the answer is always yes. One thing that I have been made aware of is that all that the King has belongs to the prince/princess but it is not released until maturity, BUT this does not disqualify the prince/princess from having ALL his/her needs met and a WHOLE LOTTA desires. So even though its not in your bank account yet or in your driveway doesn't mean its not yours. I urge you to press on to full maturation and what you ask for you shall surely receive. Until then BLESS HIS NAME and be grateful for every need He has met.
