If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him? (Matthew 7:11).
We are the children of God; and if children, then sons, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, as Paul says. At the present time we find ourselves full of limitations and disabilities because we are spiritually but children—minors. Children are irresponsible, lacking in wisdom and experience, and have to be kept under control lest their mistakes should entail serious consequences to themselves.
…That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors…(Galatians 4:1).
But when the fullness of time is come, he realizes that it is the voice of God Himself that is in his heart, making him cry: “Abba Father.” Then at last he knows that he is the son of a great king, and that all his Father has is his for the using, whether it be health, or supply, or opportunity, or beauty, or joy, or any other of the thoughts of God.
Well now, there it is. Will we claim our birthright as children of God? The other choices are to stay as children who are tutored and governed, or to ignore our birthright and live as orphans, ignorant of and separated from our God-given destiny?
During this Holy Week, the last days of Lent, is a good time to make the choice. When we claim the rights and responsibilities of our birthright, we can then live in harmony with and awareness of our status as God’s children. Then our old selves can be buried and our new selves will rise up to our true nature. Then, we can celebrate to coming of the light to the world as it dawns in each of our realities. And, then we can walk each day in the Eden that God gave us, and for which Christ gave his life, so that we could return to that garden.
