Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
1 John 3:2 NIV
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:26-28 NIV
Think about it: You are a child of God, His offspring. Are you reflecting the image of God? Does this reality change your perspective?
Pray: Heavenly Father, thank you that through Christ’s sacrifice I can be your child. I receive your salvation and acceptance into your bloodline.

But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:25-28 NLT
Think about it: Serving others isn’t just for the now; it prepares us for the eternal by putting Christ-like humility and sacrifice into action.
Pray: Guide me, God, into ways that I may serve others, knowing that as I follow Christ’s example, I, too, can bring change to the world around me.

Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Philippians 2:5-8 NIV
The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Matthew 23:11-12 ESV
Think about it: In a “me first” culture, we need to remind ourselves that true freedom is found only when we humble ourselves like Christ.
Pray: Help me, God, to follow Christ’s example and become a humble servant, knowing that all the glory belongs to You alone.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
Galatians 5:22-24 NLT
Think about it: It is only when I surrender all my life to Christ that the Spirit is able to produce fruit through me. The work is not mine, but His.
Pray: Remind me, God, to surrender my life to you daily and allow your Spirit to do the work in and through me to produce good fruit.
