Embracing the Blessings of Our Heavenly Father
In the midst of life’s chaos, it’s easy to lose sight of our true identity and worth. But what if we could hear the gentle voice of our Father whispering words of affirmation and love?
A Father’s Unconditional Love
Remember the poignant scene from the movie The Patriot? Benjamin Martin, a devoted father, begs his young daughter Susan to speak to him before he departs for war. Her silence is finally broken when she screams for her Papa not to leave. In that moment, he reassures her that she doesn’t have to do anything to earn his love, simply because of who she is. What a precious gift!
Ephesians 1:3-6: A Treasure Trove of Blessings
Listen with your spirit to the words of Ephesians 1:3-6: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.”
You Are Precious in God’s Sight
You existed in God’s heart from eternity as a precious being, chosen to be holy and blameless in his sight. You are adopted as his child through Jesus Christ, and he delights in you! Be blessed to hear your Father speak his blessings to you, and discover the many deposits of his love in your inner being.
Living in Tune with Your Father’s Heart
Your life is a treasure map, waiting to be discovered. As you journey through life, may you sense God’s light shining upon you, revealing the seven colors of the rainbow of his covenant. Receive the gentle voice of your Father speaking in the core of your essence, “You are my beloved.” Don’t find your identity and legitimacy from human sources; only your spirit connection with your Father is significant.
Claiming Your True Identity
Precious one, be blessed as you live your life as a redeemed eternal child of your eternal Father. He has determined an appointed place, time, and purpose for you. Live and move in tune with your Father’s heart for your identity, legitimacy, calling, authority, and birthright. Today is the day of his favor for you. Stand tall in all your legitimacy as a covenant right from your Father the King.
Blessed in Jesus’ Name
Be blessed in Jesus’ name as a child of his God and Father (Ephesians 1:3). Be blessed in the name of the Spirit of adoption (Romans 8:15 NKJV – Spirit of sonship in NIV). May you live a life overflowing with the blessings of your heavenly Father.
