I Am a Child of God
The only one who really knows you in this life is God. He knit you together in your mother’s womb. He knew where to place the hairs on your head and counted them. There is nothing about you he doesn’t know, including your personality, intellect, and gifts. God doesn’t ask you to be like anyone else. He knows how you think and what interests you. He knows your talents and your dreams. He knows your past and your future, and he loves you unconditionally. No human being can make these claims.
Is it a good thing that nobody knows you as God knows you? The answer is yes because God has created you for himself and then for the life he gives you. He’s given you a deep, deep love for his world as his child and has created you to fulfill a purpose on this earth.
No purpose of God is too difficult or outrageous. Consider Noah. If ever there was a person in the Bible with a difficult and outrageous purpose, it was Noah. His entire life focused on building an impossible structure called an ark for an impossible reason. It took him almost seventy-five years of labor to do it, much of the project completed under the derision of his neighbors. God worked with him all the way, encouraging, directing, instructing, explaining what he wanted and how to do it, and Noah did his job without a hitch. You have a purpose, too, and it’s no less important than that of Noah. Romans 2:11 says that we are all God’s favorite. What God looks at is your obedience.
Jesus said we can do nothing without him (John 15:5), and this is good to know when our egos jump in and tell us we’re the source behind all the good we do. God knows you love him. He knows you want his will for your life. Your heavenly Father knows who you are, and knowing you, he loves you. Be comfortable and at peace with the importance of your purpose in God. Begin now to affirm your confidence in your purpose and calling as a child of God.
Affirmations:
- God knows the real me and loves me exactly as I am.
- God knows me better than anyone, and I’m secure in knowing he knows me.
- No one has a purpose more important than mine, and my purpose is no more important than anyone else’s.
- I have full confidence in the Lord’s plan for my life.
- I’m fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
- I am a child of God.
