Whose Child Are You?

Whose Child Are You?

To whom do you belong, and what path will you follow? Are you a child of this world, or an heir of faith?

Consider Abraham, the father of faith; he left his father’s home and his connection to a pagan culture because he believed in God.  Though not without his struggles and moments of worry, he ultimately demonstrated deep trust in God. His faith and obedience paved the way for generational blessings.

As for Sarah, despite her flaws and moments of bitterness, she became a woman of faith and a mother of nations, learning to trust God's timing and promises. She rose above the limitations of her time, even enduring the challenges of her barrenness and cultural pressures. Eventually, she exemplified courage, loyalty, and unwavering faithfulness to God.

Will you chase after worldly desires and material possessions, or seek a deeper relationship with God? Will you choose the path of earthly fame and fortune, or walk in the conviction that God's plans are far greater than your desires? Will you choose the path of doubt and despair, or embrace the faith that enables you to overcome challenges and experience true victory?

Remember, a life of faith is not always easy. It requires denying worldly temptations, persevering through suffering, and humbly serving others. However, the rewards of obedience are immense, leading to a deeper understanding of God and a life filled with purpose and eternal joy. God's rewards are not about earning salvation, but reflecting the depth of your love and commitment to Him. 

This allows a progressive transformation into God’s nature and image, to be more like Christ.  When you choose to leave the fading glories of this world and embrace the covenant of love between a heavenly Father and His earthly child. This is how you become a child of the Most High.  But ultimately, the choice is yours.  When you become His child, He calls you by name and reminds you of your divine purpose.  My name is the Aroma of God, and I am here to spread His fragrance everywhere. 

Let it be so!
