The world looks at people and makes snap judgements about everyone that they encounter. Like it or not that is just the way that it is. To the world I am just a nobody. I don't have lots of money. I don't live in a fancy home. I don't even have a nice car. The world takes one look and me and they see my plain clothes. They see my everyday appearance. They see an average guy, nothing special or nothing fancy. I am not the best looking person around. I don't stand out in the crowd. I am not the smartest cookie in the jar. How can I ever amount to anything they ask? I will always be one of the "little people" they say.
It is a good thing that I know better than all that. I am not who the world says I am, I am who God says that I am. Romans 8:15 and 16 says "For you did not recieve the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have recieved the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba, Father'. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." God tells me and more importantly He is telling you that if we have accepted Christ, then we are indeed His children. Thats right! You are special. You are important. You are His! No one on this earth can ever take that away from you. When the world tries to tell you that you are just a nobody, don't accept that! No matter what your surroundings, no matter what your station in life, you are a child of the Most High God.
If you can't claim that special place as one of His children, it is available to you too. All you need to do is to call on the name of God, believe that Jesus came and died for your sins, and ask Him to forgive you. It really is that easy. Take those three easy steps today and let His Spirit place that cloak of adoption around you.
A ministry dedicated to telling and showing others the love of Christ.
