For new believers: consider what God has done for you! He has brought you into a love relationship!
For those who have been walking with Jesus for some time: do not forget what He has done for you. Joyfully spend time with Him. Do His bidding joyfully! Doing His will is not burdensome; it is our privilege! Serve Him with eternity in view.
SCRIPTURE: Galatians (NIV) 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
OBSERVATION: What a change: from being a slave to sin, to being a son of God! From serving sin because we were in bondage, to serving God because we love Him. And we love Him because He first loved us!
APPLICATION: I do not have to serve God—I get to serve God. It is my privilege to serve Him.
Because I love Him I consider myself His servant. Because He loves me He considers me His son!
Because I love Him and see myself as His servant, I serve Him joyfully. Because He loves me and considers me His son, He makes me His heir!
He is always outdoing me! That’s just the way He is!
PRAYER: Lord, I am your creation. I am your child. I am your friend. I am your servant. I am your son. I am your heir. I am blest! Amen
