"I Am a Child of God" a Song for Children, Or is It?

There is a song for children called "I Am a Child of God". The third verse goes like this:

I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do his will
I'll live with hime once more.
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.

We have been given the ten commandments and the two greatest commandments. We know that Jesus loves each and every one of us so much that he laid down his life and took it up again. He also atoned for our sins by taking our sins upon himself so that his mercy could compensate for justice. In so doing, he became our advocate with the Father. We can pray directly to God our Father in the name of Jesus Christ if we are on his same team.

More simply said, Jesus is literally our brother and our Savior. Our Father in Heaven is also his Father. They both love us so much. They love it when we pray because they love to hear from us, their family. It is so simple that even children can understand it.

With love.

He Said "Come Follow Me"

Jesus invited everyone when he said "Come Follow Me". He has an open door policy and wants us each to draw close to him.

How do we do this? One way to do this is through prayer. We simply address his father in an attitude of reverence. We can start by saying "Dear Heavenly Father". It is that simple. Then when we finish talking to Our Heavenly Father, we can close by saying "in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen"  Very very simple.

Today is a good day to talk to God. Draw close to God and Jesus. There is no reason to wait. They love you very very much and want to hear how your day is going. If it has been awhile, tell Heavenly Father everything in your heart. Pray outloud if you can. Don't be surprised if you can feel him listening. If you cannot feel him listening, I promise you that he is.
