| A Child of God |
“They shall be called the children of God”
(Matthew 5:9). |
| I read recently of a young girl by the name of Mary Ann Bird. She was born with a cleft palate and hare lip and received much abuse from her classmates at school. As the story goes, her teacher, Mrs. Leonard was in the habit of giving her class a yearly hearing test. The pupils would stand at a distance and the teacher would whisper sentences like, “The sky is blue. Do you have new shoes? What is your street address?” When Mary Ann took the test, her teacher, knowing the abuse she endured, very kindly whispered, “I wish you were my little girl.” |
| All of us were born with sinful hearts, but there is One who whispers in our ear, “I want you as my child. I love you and want to save you. I want you to spend eternity in the Father’s house.” |
| I trust all my readers are saved. You can become a child of God through simple faith in Christ based on the work of Calvary. “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). |
