Every mother or father wants the best for their child. It’s in their basic instinct to want their child to be healthy, happy and taken care of. It comes with being a parent. There is no limit when it comes to giving the best to a child. Imagine the child of the wealthiest person in the world living in poverty. It wouldn’t make much sense, would it?

No matter your age, when you live a life with God, you will always be a child in His eyes. God, being a Father, desires the absolute best for us. When He looks at us, He sees us having the best health, the best family, the best marriage, the best job, and so on. He desires our life to reflect Him. Perhaps you say this is not my life, and I consider myself a child of God.

Well, when someone is truly a child of God, they must also take on the role. This means they live in obedience and honor their father, and as a result, their life has to be blessed by Him. Just as the wealthiest people in the world would not leave their child in want, how much more will God, who owns silver and gold, who gives health, strength, peace, and so much more, give to you who is His child?

He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 1 John 14:9

When people look at your life, they must see a reflection of God. After all, you are his child. Perhaps at the moment, you are struggling with a sickness, a problem, a trial or tribulation, and you think that you are on your own or it is just your cross to bear however, God cares for you, and he would never want to see His child suffer. Remember, you are your Father’s child. Your life must reflect your Father in every way.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
