have exactly the right genetic makeup. You
are the best fruit of creation, a beautiful and
unique creature. You're just what He wanted
to do and its main motive was love. He
loved the world to the extreme of sending
His only son in order to secure that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have
eternal life and abundance. When you recognize in your heart that Jesus Christ is the
Lord, the Savior of your life, you will immediately be adopted as a child of God. All
circumstances that happen around your life,
the adversities and afflictions, the conflicts
and situations, will be momentary and transient. With them a great weight of the glory
of God will be flourishing inside you. In the
parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15), Jesus
begins His story describing a family of a
father and two sons, without mentioning
whether they were white, black or mestizo.
For Him there is no personal distinction: we
are all equal. The father educated his children on principles and values grounded in
love; they did not have anything, but they
enjoyed the benefits provided by their father. One day the younger son approached
him and asked for a rightful part of the
inheritance. I will not dwell on how the
father felt. He simply agreed and this son
launched into an adventure toward the worst
humiliation: he lost the meaning of life
because he lacked an identity. This son did
not care who he was and the values that his
father had instilled in him. The older son did
not have the same attitude, but he was as
insecure and resentful, that is: he also lacked
identity. Both sons were not in accordance
with the teachings of his father.
They were moved by the price, not by the
value. If you're not sure about this principle,
you have no identity and you will feel
slighted., First of all search (which actually
means continually seeking) the kingdom of
God and His Righteousness (which is simply
the Will of God, His Way) and all things
will be added. God will never fail in the
promise made by Jesus Christ; on the contrary, He will exceed your expectations.
