Serving Wholeheartedly

How do you identify yourself

Who do you think you are

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to

become children of God, to those who believe in His name

John 1:12

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is

what we are! The reason the world does not

know us is that it did not know him.1 John 3:1

And knows that he is the object of unrelenting affirmation and affection from his divine father.

He gives us the chance to be men like Him –

relating to the Father as royal sons and reigning in in our world

as servant rulers.
