To be called His son.

   So how can I put this into words? I rubbed out a couple of lines there because they were not good enough. God calls me His son!!! Me?!! A wretched sinner like me?!!. I was dipping a tyre in work today when it just hit me again, I just looked up at the light and was like, "wow!" Me, of all people. Most guys out there are more worthy of this than me, but God calls me His son. What can I say. Maybe just, "whooooooop!" Some things can just not be explained. But wow!

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:7

Letting Him have everything.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. Isaiah 33:22

    When I read this I thought, "Is He?" Here I see words stating He is my Judge, Lawgiver and King. Can I say that? Does He have rule over my life? When He gives the laws do I obey them? Do I let God judge my life and decide what I should do? Does He have the final word.
   I should let God have the final word. I should just give myself totally to Him.

Humbled by His mercy!

I have been in this place many times recently and how much more I realize I don't realize what He has done for me. What a God!

Of the race of Christ!

    What do I mean when I call myself a Christian? Well, I like to think of it this way. A European is somebody from Europe, an Asian is a person from Asia, an African is someone of the African race and a Christian is somebody of the race of Christ. God says we can become the sons of God if we receive Him and believe on Him. (John 1:12)
    Now, you can often tell where a person is from when you see them (colour of skin, type of hair, shape of the face and facial parts and by their accent), so if I am a Christian I should look like Christ. Now, this will not be a change physically. When a became a Christian I didn't develop a Christian nose. No, these Christlike features are internal, but, they should shine through me so that others should notice and say, "Look at him, there is something different about him. He must have God living inside of Him." That is how I want to be. Nothing less of that, I hope, should ever satisfy me.
    But how does this happen? Well, because it is internal and deals with my character, no amount of make-up or surgery will do this. This requires the Holy Spirit and me to work together to shape my character to that of Jesus Christ. It takes the Holy Spirit to do the shaping and me to do the yielding. God will not force me; I have to be willing. I have to be receptive to the movement of His hands over my lump of clay. I also need to seek out His Word and see what is says about being holy and how I should live as His son. Now, I could post up all the Bible verses there are about that here. But, that would require me typing out the whole Bible. So, I may go to my room, pick up that Bible and read it thoroughly and see for myself how to radiate His life and light. And I urge you too, reader, to do the same.
    Be a Christian!
