The Orphan Spirit: Inner Healing From Deep Wounds of RejectionSample

Day 7: Living as a Glorious Son or Daughter of God

Healing from the deep wounds of rejection allows for the full inheritance of being glorious sons and daughters of God. Being a “glorious son or daughter of God” means embracing one’s identity as a beloved child of God who is called to reflect His glory, love, and purpose in this world. This identity, given through Christ, involves living in the fullness of God’s love, grace, and power.

As glorious sons and daughters, we are fully accepted and loved by God. John 1:12 tells us that “to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” This identity is not earned; it’s a gift of God’s grace and love.

We no longer have to embrace the identity of an abandoned son or daughter. We are not just individuals saved by grace; we are adopted into God’s family. Romans 8:15-17 explains that, as adopted children, we are heirs with Christ. We belong to God’s family with the rights, privileges, and responsibilities that come with it.

God desires His children to live in emotional, spiritual, and physical wholeness. As we walk in relationship with Him, He brings healing and restoration to our hearts, allowing us to live as whole and complete sons and daughters.

God gives His children authority in Christ to overcome spiritual forces and live with boldness and confidence. Luke 10:19 says, “I have given you authority…to overcome all the power of the enemy.” As His children, we have access to His power and authority through prayer, faith, and the Holy Spirit.

As glorious sons and daughters we grow in Christlikeness, striving to reflect Jesus in thoughts, actions, and character. Romans 8:29 teaches that God’s goal for us is to be “conformed to the image of His Son.” This transformation reflects God’s glory and reveals His nature to the world.

Scripture: “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’” – Romans 8:15

Reflection: Today, focus on living in your identity as God’s child. Choose to release any orphan mindset and walk in the freedom, love, and security of being a son or daughter of God. Trust that He has given you a place in His family.

Prayer: Abba, Father, thank You for making me Your child. Help me to walk in my true identity, free from fear, and full of the confidence of being fully loved.
