For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
Today is January 1, 2017, the beginning of a new year. We have many opportunities to start a "New Year's Resolution," but like most people, what we start out and what usually has good intentions, well, by the end of January most of us not only have stopped our resolution but even have forgotten that we started one and what it was. But I challenge you today, this 1st day of 2017, to start looking at yourself in a different way, and make a point to do this. So many Christians still see themselves as unworthy in God's eyes, but Romans 8:16 says something completely different. It says we are God's children, His child, His son, His daughter. We need to start seeing ourselves as God sees us, and a good way to start out is by seeing ourselves as a son or daughter of God. When we start seeing ourselves as such, and continue to see ourselves as such, our whole attitude, the way we carry ourselves, our behavior, our talk, our desires begin to change.
My challenge to each of you is to make a point today, January 1, to start looking at yourself as a son or daughter of God, and make a point to do this everyday during the month of January. How do you do this? By reading this scripture each morning and speaking out loud "I am a son/daughter of God."
