Mas a todos los que le recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio potestad de ser hechos hijos de Dios; los cuales no son engendrados de sangre, ni de voluntad de carne, ni de voluntad de varón, sino de Dios. JUAN 1:12-13 (RV60
Cuando nace un bebé, la parte más importante de su identidad es saber quiénes son sus padres. También lo moldeará el lugar en el que crezca y las personas que lo cuiden a medida que se hace mayor. Todos tenemos distintas historias sobre esto. Tenemos padres biológicos y las circunstancias en las que se dio nuestra concepción pueden etiquetarse de muchas formas, que van desde deseada hasta indeseada.
Puede que te hayan cuidado unos padres amorosos, unos padres a los que no les has importado, unos padres en aprietos o que, incluso, hayas crecido sin padres. Aun así, aquellos que creemos en Dios tenemos algo en común. Todos somos hijos de Dios. Dios fue quien nos creó y quien nos trajo al mundo. Dios es quien nos ha estado cuidando desde que respiramos por primera vez. Fue Dios quien se regocijó cuando lo aceptamos como nuestro Salvador. Hemos vuelto a nacer en la familia de Dios y nada de esta tierra nos puede quitar esto.
Oración:
Padre celestial, te doy las gracias por haberme invitado a tu familia. Gracias por amarme y cuidarme como tu preciosa hija.
Born of God
As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. JOHN 1:12-13 NKJV
When children are born, the most significant part in shaping their identity is knowing to whom they are born. They will also continue to be molded by where they are born and who they have to nurture them as they grow. We all have different stories regarding this. We have birth parents, and the circumstance of our conception can be labeled anything from desired to unwanted.
You may have been nurtured by loving parents, uncaring parents, struggling parents, or perhaps even no parents. However, those of us who believe in God have something in common. We are all children of God. It was God who created us and brought us into the world. It is God who has been watching over us since we took our first breath. It was God who was overjoyed when we accepted him as our Savior. We have been born again into God’s family and nothing in this earth can take that away from us.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you that you have called me into your family. Thank you that you love and care for me as your precious child.
