Thoughts for another day
July 5, 2010
Today's verse: 1 Jn. 3:2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
What we are and what we will be does not matter. What we think and what we devise also doesn’t matter; because, we’re children of God. We’re His heritage and if one were to understand fully what that means, one would not be able to hold the sheer pleasure of being called ‘child of God’ for that is a designation far superior to any on earth. We may not see splendor, or glory or any visible sign of grandeur but of this we can be sure that heaven and earth bow down to the child of God for it isn’t a mean thing let’s take this as a case in point: That God was with the Israelites was known to everybody when God delivered them out of the hand of Pharaoh bringing them out of Egypt and none dare even touch them for fear of God’s as God Himself protected them and led them out.
If this was for those who were chosen to be just His people, how much more for us who’re called His children and He in His absolute mercy has deigned to be our Father and this privilege was granted us by none other than God the Son, Jesus Christ, who wanted us to know and understand the love the Father had for us. Not only that, Jesus also wanted us to enjoy the bliss of heaven and the joy of eternal life.
Our bodies are mortal and with most of us, our souls are tarnished, yet we can think of spending our lives with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in eternity because though are souls are scarlet, they’ve been washed clean like snow, by the blood of the Lamb. Our bodies are frail and subject to corruption, and honestly we don’t know what state they will be when He, the Lord comes. But this much we’re assured of is that we will be like Him. He who went before us, will make us like Him and we shall behold His glory, the glory as of the only Son of God and we shall fall on our faces and worship Him, our Maker and our Husband and it shall all be well for He will own us forever as His own treasure.
