Child of God  –  2019.11.11

You are Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.
Mark 1, 11

God said this to His Son Jesus when He was baptized. He will have used it, this word of confirmation, encouragement and love of the Father. God Himself has taken pleasure in Jesus, He is God’s beloved child!
We can also take this word for ourselves personally, because it is true: God has taken pleasure in us and we are God’s beloved children!
This is solely due to Jesus, who cleansed us from all dead works, from dirt and dirty fantasies, from sin and guilt. Jesus now lives in our heart and God sees Jesus in us. Jesus sacrificed Himself so that we might live; we are worth so much to Him! – shouldn’t God accept the sacrifice of Jesus​.​
Only because of Jesus are you a beloved child of God. If it were because of our own works, then we would not have many chances. Who is so perfect that God is satisfied? You can be as good as that and exert yourself as hard as you want, it won’t work, it’s never quite enough. Please, stop trying so hard for God to like you! Rely on Jesus and accept peace!
There are many Christians who struggle to make this verse personal. They condemn themselves because they cannot be what they want to be. They think that God condemns them just as they condemn themselves. But that is not true, it is a lie of the devil.
Please, choose the love of God. Decide to believe Jesus who makes you righteous. And thank Him for that. And then you ask Jesus to give you the Holy Spirit in your heart, who makes these truths alive in you. Listen to Him and no longer to doubt. He will make it wonderful!!

Thank You​, Father​,​ that I am Your beloved child! I am not perfect, but You know that. And yet You said yes to me and accepted me. Thank You, I can refer to that when doubt comes!
