Day 8: Embracing Our Identity as Sons of God

Scripture: 1 John 3:1 - "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!"

Reflection: Understanding our identity as God’s children transforms our lives.

Application: Reflect on what it means to be a child of God.

Prayer: Father, thank You for calling me Your child. Help me to live confidently in Your love. Amen.

Let's break this down a bit. When you know who you are—a beloved son of an infinitely powerful and loving Father—it shifts how you see everything else. There’s a kind of confidence that comes with this identity. Not the strutting, puffed-up kind, but a solid, unshakeable confidence that says, "I am valued beyond measure." This isn’t about earning God’s love by racking up good guy points; it’s about being secure in His love from the get-go. You don't have to jump through hoops or prove your worth. You're loved because He loves you, full stop. And this love isn’t based on our flimsy efforts but on His unchanging nature.
