For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him (Romans 8: 15-17 HCSB). It really is this simple. To accept Gods grace is to accept Gods offer to be adopted into His family. Your identity is not in your possessions, talents, tattoos, kudos, or accomplishments. Nor are you defined by your divorce, deficiencies, debt, or dumb choices. You are Gods child. You get to call Him papa. You may approach God with freedom and confidence (Eph 3:12). You receive the blessings of His special love (1 John 4:9-11) and provision (Luke 11:11-13). And you will inherit the riches of Christ and reign with Him forever (Romans 8:17). Rather than conjure up reasons to feel good about yourself, trust Gods verdict. If God loves you, you must be worth loving. If He wants to have you in His Kingdom, then you must be worth having. Gods grace invites you - no, REQUIRES you - to change your attitude about yourself and take sides with God against your feelings of rejection. ~ Max Lucado - Grace ~
