A child of God

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. ~1 John 3:1

To be a child of God, that means to be led by the Hand of God, to do the Will of God, not one's own will, to place every care and every Hope in the Hand of God and not to worry about one's future.  On this rests the freedom and the joy of the child of God.  But how few of even the truly pious, even of those ready for heroic sacrifices, possess this freedom.  ~St. Edith Stein


Father!  Our Father!  My Father!  How happy I am to be Your child!  Help me to truly be Your child, that I may always live in the glorious freedom of the children of God and so give you all the praise and glory of which You alone are worthy.

Father, I adore You!
Lay my life before you!
How I love you!
