For you are my offspring.
Acts 17:28
As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’ (WEB)
Every person ever conceived came from God and was fashioned in His image. He is your Father; you are His offspring. He is the One who fathered you into life. This is true whether a person chooses to be identified as His child or not, for God’s very essence is that of a loving Father.
But God will never force His way into your life. You must make that conscious decision to
accept Him as your Father. When you do, He will reach down, take your hand in His and never let it go. Father God loves you, His child, with an everlasting love.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I gratefully acknowledge that You are my Father and I am Your child. How thankful I am that by choosing to receive Your love I will not pass into eternity without You. Help me feel Your pain for all the spiritually lost children who haven’t yet found their way home to Your loving arms. Give me Your same compassion toward Your wayward offspring. Amen.
