Remember who you are
Romans 8:14-17 NLT and James 1:24 NLT
I love reading historical biographies. Recently I read about Queen Victoria who became queen at the age of 18. She was extremely sheltered all her life by her mother and a conniving uncle. She knew nothing of political life, how to rule, or for that matter, about life in general. But when faced with her new immense responsibility, words her governess often spoke to her, resonated in her — "remember who you are".In an age when so many search for their identity, Christians have theirs in Jesus Christ. As believers in Christ, we are joint heirs, sons and daughters of the living God, we belong to the King! If we end up looking, sounding, and doing like the world, how will they know Christ?
James 1:22 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don't obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.
24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.
Dear Friend, today I pray we reflect that we are Children of the King - a believer, a follower, a reflection and an heir of Jesus Christ - that we 'remember who we are'.
