"My daddy is a movie star": the little girl beamed with joy
"Oh but my daddy is the richest man in the world!": the other girl shouted with pride
"Well, mine is a very powerful man who rules the country. What do you say about that!" The little boy grinned from ear to ear.
"My daddy is loving and kind": the shy little girl almost whispered it as she played with the ribbons of her dress.
Along came little Jesus:" Well my Daddy is stronger, more beautiful, more loving and kind and has all the wealth in the world!"
Well no, Jesus never said this, maybe when He was a little boy He may have had these thoughts as others praised their daddy.
But He had to wait until He was 30 years old to reveal who His real Daddy was.
In the mean time He was very proud of His heroic and noble father Joseph, who had saved His life and raised Him in a God fearing way.
Kings and Queens
God wants to be a Father to all people especially to those who did not have a father around or had an unkind father.
His blood cleanses us from sins and gives new life to us as God's children.
Now since God is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords we become 'royal' blood ourselves when we are His children and we will even sit beside His throne.
"Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads." Revelation 4:4
Through His saving work Christ took back the kingdom of the world that satan had taken from Adam and Eve after they had sinned.
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given
to me."
Although it may not seem like He has all power and rules the Kingdoms of the earth, the truth still remains unshaken and true.
God is in control and everything will be as He has said.
There will be a great tribulation with the anti-christ and the world will almost be completely destroyed by nuclear weapons.
Jerusalem will be surrounded by countries mentioned in the bible, but will be saved as Christ Himself will finally return to earth.
Beyond imagination
God speaks things to us through His word that are beyond imagination.
"All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
(1 Corinthians 3:21)
"Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?
Do you not know that we will judge angels?" (1 Corinthians 6:2a,3)
Being a child of God is the most awesome and wonderful thing to be, for not only will He delegate certain
important things to us, but we will partake in His loving and kind nature that makes it possible for the universe to exist.
Our loving and caring God created such wonderful things and maintains their existence because He is Love.
Just look around and see that even though we as mere humans, all try very hard to make this world a better place and keep it blooming and bright, we cannot reverse or stop the unloving kindness of satan in some who's hatred cause creation to wither away in the darkness of evil.
What the world needs now is love, Divine love. Love is God, Love is power that overcomes all evil.
Love will recreate the earth and even the heavens because we were not able to maintain them on our own.
So get you're white robe ready, shine up your crown as you walk in faith and the Love of God.
Kings and Queens from a faraway place where our Daddy rules the universe.
Blessings and love in Christ as usual,
Monique
