WITNESS 2-8-13 A REMINDER OF WHO WE ARE Sometimes We need not be instructed So much As reminded As to who we are We need to be CONSTANTLY reminded That we are CHILDREN OF GOD “Yet to all Who received him To those Who believed in his name He gave the right To become children of God- Children born Not of natural descent -nor of human decision Or a husband’s will BUT BORN OF GOD” 1 Luke:12-13 We need To hear again and again That we are CHILDREN OF GOD That Christ Gave his body-soul-and spirit For ALL of us In the Epistle of Saint Paul We hear the term- “IN CHRIST”-155 times “So “in Christ” all will be made alive” 1 Corinthians 15:22 Christ didn’t live and die for the Jewish faith For the Catholic faith For the Christian faith BUT FOR ALL “These are a shadow Of the things That were to come The reality-however Is found IN CHRIST” Colossians 2:17 And on and on and on Truly Children of God IN CHRIST Life-by definition-must be lived And the reality is That God is in each of us That God’s life is in us And that God is our FATHER The reality is That God is MADLY in love with you That he is living in you And he loves you “Like there is no one else” He gives us his heart And he gives us a home He prepares a place For us to come and live with him At the end of our lives HEAVEN A place Where we can Live in perfect happiness And in eternal communion with HIM “Their mind is on earthly things But our citizenship is in heaven” Philippians 3:19-20 We are heirs Truly heirs To the Kingdom of God There once was a nurse Who married a common man During the war After the war She found out He was Lord of the manor With servants And endless wealth And she cried And she cried TEARS OF JOY “Why didn’t you tell me?” she said “I wanted you to love me for myself,” he responded And that Is how we will be When we-CHILDREN OF GOD Enter our home with our Father “The spirit himself Testifies that we are God’s children” Romans 8:16 Now if we are God’s children Then we are his heirs Heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ And if indeed we share in his sufferings We will ALSO SHARE in his glory Dear Lord-WE YOUR CHILDREN Pray that your light Will be seen in us Robert P.
