How to be a child of God?

Dear heavenly father, I believe in you and I am your child. As a child, sometimes it is difficult to believe that whatever parents do for me is the best for me. But as a child of the heavenly father, please help me to believe that whatever happens to me from you is the best for me.

Even though things may not be happened as I wish, and it seems not the best options according to my own judgment, help me to rely on you, as my heavenly father to continue to walk on the path that leads me to the destination that you desired me to go, with courage and understanding, with love and commitment.

Help me to believe that the father's way is higher than a child's way, and the father's options is better than a child's option. Amen.

Thank you Lord for letting me become your child.

As we are all children of God, we are actually in one family. So we should love one another as real brothers and sisters. I treasure and love my brothers and sisters in church. If one member is in agony, I feel worried and concerned. Lord, may this passion to care for each other grow in our heart. Amen.

信主得永生, 這是基督徒一個很基本對信仰的認識. 然而, 信主除了可以得永生之外, 更重要的一點, 就是成為神的兒女, 卻普遍地被忽視. 起碼我就是這樣. 永生只是此生完結之後生命狀態的一個描述. 它除了告訴我在生命在今生以後並沒有完結, 而會在永恆裡繼續下去. 但是它卻不能告訴我, 在永恆裡將會做些甚麼. 相反地, 神的兒女的身份卻是一種關係的描繪. 它說明了身為被造之物的我, 和造物主, 和其它被造之物之間的關係. 神的兒女, 在永恆的家中所享受的自然是好得無比的關係. 這比僅僅進入永恆的應許要美好得多.

神的兒女這一尊貴的身份, 更是我們今生的安慰. 它帶給我們神同在的保證和盼望. 回想以往信主前後的許多日子, 都是在擔驚受怕的惶恐中渡過. 其實許多的擔憂都是因為沒有認識到神的兒女這個尊貴的身份而惹起的. 一旦經歷過神的同在和供應, 任何憂慮都變為不必要了. 而神兒女的身份, 正是神同在的保障.另一方面, 這個尊貴的身份使我更清楚地認識到自我的價值.

神兒女的身份, 使我得以更好地和神結連, 和人結連, 和自己結連.

真是要好好地思想這一尊貴身份的意義.

Amen! (thank you dadada for your prayer .. it becomes our prayers now~~ =P Thanks!)

讀完這節, 心想什麼是神的兒女? 便拿起聖經"睇多幾節" .. esp like the English version of 13節 "children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." - everyone is born of a purpose, a purpose of God.

我的價值的高低不在乎別人在過去,現在或將來為我作什麼或沒有作什麼 .. 也不在乎環境, 我的價值正是因為我是從神生的 - 是神的兒女. 我有價值因我信祂; 我信祂只因祂是可信的! Thank you, Father!!
