Who are we?

My daughter is graduating this spring. We were discussing how she feels about this change. There is so much uncertainty at this point of her life. Not only are young adults deciding what they want to do, but more importantly who they want to be.

As she decides who she wants to be and what she wants to do, I asked her to remember who created her. After all, the most important thing is not how we feel about ourselves, but who God says we are. He says we are His children. What my daughter does for a living and how much she makes doesn’t matter in his eyes. He cares that we recognize him as our father and that we assume the dignity and responsibilities that go along with this.

As swiftly as the years pass I am confident my beautiful girl will face the world shoulders back and head up. Always remembering that she is a child of God.

John 14: 1-4 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
