God's Many Children

In certain ways we are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don’t know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that cannot be put into words.  All of our thoughts are known to God. He can understand what is in the mind of the Spirit, as the Spirit prays for God’s people.  We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose, and he has always known who his chosen ones would be. He had decided to let them become like his own Son, so that his Son would be the first of many children.

Romans 8:26-29

As a follower of Jesus, when you, in your weakness don't know what you pray for, the Holy Spirit prays for you.  The Spirit, who lives in your heart, goes to the Father and expresses to Him the needs that you have.  You may not even know what those needs are and the Bible does not say that the Spirit tells you!  

Then you can know that the bread you find on your table and the Wine you discover in your cup come straight from the Heart of God!  Even sorrow and pain touch your body, soul and spirit because the Holy Spirit has seen an important place for them in your life.  It is only for your good that you are pressed on every side!

And the reason all this happens is truly amazing!  God has decided to let you become like Jesus in every way so that you will be one of God's Many Children! And that is what you will be forever!

"Lord Jesus, I am amazed that the Father's plan for me is to allow me to become like You!  May I, even today see the steps You took where I can put my foot today.  May Your Holy and Righteous Name be praised now and forever.  Amen."
