Transformed Devotional Day 2

Opening Prayer:
Pray that God would transform your mind today.  Ask him to give you strength to be spiritually disciplined in your day today.

 

Read:
John 1:12-13
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Thought:

Everyone of us are God's Children.  Premise - when we are in Christ and believe in Jesus - Promise - we are brought near to God the Father.  We become part of the family - fully loved and fully accepted by Him.

What does that mean for us who believe?

• We get to share in the same love, same relationship and same closeness that Jesus shared with God. - Read Romans 8:15
• We can address God as "Abba Father", which means "Daddy"
• We have direct access to God - we can talk to Him, share with Him and ask Him anything.  God has granted us FULL ACCESS to His love!

Here is the beautiful thing - God is not forcing himself on you today.  He is inviting you today to participate in His life of love.  It is a choice for you to make - either participate or not.  If you choose to participate, then the creator of the universe will transform your day into the likeness of Himself and His love.
