Knowing where we are from, realizing our true identity as Christians and Children of God who are filled with the Spirit from above and anointed for the growth of His advancing Kingdom, makes us speak honestly like Christ, different from the sinful sons and deceived daughters of men. This sometimes gives rise to persecuting questions coming from those who are stumbling in the flesh and stubborn to the Truth, even while it's made known to them; "hearing, they do not hear" (John 9:29 & Matt. 13:11-16).
Being blessed to know who we are as valid Heirs of the Father, gives us the Divine confidence needed to declare the Truth of God's Word for the Salvation of souls and encourage repentance while giving hope to the hopeless, so that the faith of many may be strengthened in Christ. Even then, those who reject the Good News declared in Love, are only revealing their ignorance of God's existence, or hard-heartedness. So, we mustn't allow their reactions to distract us from the fulfillment of our Calling; rather, we should always remain focused on our Heavenly goal and we will surely live to please the Father, glorifying Him as vessels of His handiwork on Earth.
PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, for helping me, as Your Child, to realize where I came from and granting me the true knowledge of Your Kingdom where my hope lies. Please, keep me focused and strengthened to walk with integrity to the end, so I may remain fruitful and deserving of Your Kingdom in Jesus' name,
Amen.
From John 8:14
