 Promise #336: My family in heaven and on earth is named after Me. Ephesians 3:14-15 (WEB) 14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, All fatherhood is derived from the one and only true Father God. The Amplified Bible says Ephesians 3:15 this way... For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name]. (AMP) All fatherhood is derived from the one and only true Father God. The Amplified Bible says Ephesians 3:15 this way... For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name]. (AMP) When God looks at you and me, He doesn't see nameless, faceless workers; He sees family. He is a loving Father who lovingly relates to His children—not workers, not servants, not slaves, but sons and daughters. The more we begin to see that the Christian life is all about family, the more we will be drawn into His fathering heart. It is the most beautiful revelation when we know that our value to Him is not based on what we do but simply who we are. My prayer today is that we would all have a more profound revelation that we belong to the family of God. Our very name comes from our heavenly Father. In John 8:35, Jesus said these words... Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. (NIV) May we all know we have a permanent place in our father's family where we will belong forever! *** Responsive Prayer: Father, I thank You that You see me as Your beloved child, one who belongs in Your family forever. I pray that the revelation that I am part of the biggest, best family in the universe will set my heart at rest so I don’t have to feel that I need to prove my value to You. May the eyes of my heart be opened so I can see myself through the lens of Your eternal affection for me in Christ. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. Comments are closed.
