Children

You people are precious to me, and when I come to bring justice, I will protect you, just as parents protect an obedient child. ~ Malachi 3:17 (CEV)

Yet some people accepted him and put their faith in him. So he gave them the right to be the children of God. ~ John 1:12 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:

Those who put their faith in God are cared for by him as his children.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank you for accepting me -- even though my faith is weak and broken. Yet you still care for me as one of your children. Please strengthen my faith so that I can act more like your child. I want to be involved in all your activities and to advance your interests in the world. Amen.
