"The Bible," we are told sometimes, "gives us such a beautiful picture of what we should be." Nonsense! It gives us no picture at all. It reveals to us a fact: it tells us what we really are; it says, This is the form in which God created you, to which He has restored you; this is the work which the Eternal Son, the God of Truth and Love, is continually carrying on within you.
~ F. D. Maurice (1805-1872), The Prayer-Book and the Lord's Prayer
What a powerful thought - God created us to be his child, He then restored us to be his child, and the work of the Eternal son is bringing many sons to glory.
Thank you Jesus for making me your child, and let me walk in all the good things that you have prepared for me. Amen
