children of God

what does it mean to be a Child of God?

does it mean that we are his children? or does it mean that we must act like children do who welcome God in a childlike way?

i think both. 

Lately i've been thinking a lot about relationships. i mean, what does it REALLY mean. relationships: family/God/friends....

1. It all starts and comes back a full circle to the relationship we have with God.

you can say that you have a relationship with God. but what does that mean? are you being surface level. or have you really looked at the deeper meaning. it's more complex than you thought isn't it. 

*right now it's in the works but. i hope to lead a devo in this topic sometime this semester in ADX. God is showing me so much in deeper relationships with him and others, and the truth behind the deeper meanings in things, not surface. 

>>>i refuse to be surface level with people. i am more direct than i have ever been, it's all God. i'm taking a stand and leaving the current of other people to search the truth behind everything.  i strongly believe that in order to have a deeper relationship with other people all begins with the deep relationship you have with God. 

* think about it. relationship with God. what does it mean to you? what does it look like? how does it feel? how does God communicate with you?

Relationship with God > fruit of the spirit> joy>deeper relationship with God/other ppl

>>>one of the many examples. this is my example. God blesses me with his fruit and his Joy becomes my joy, and i take that joy and give it to others, exactly the way he wants me to give it to others and that deepens our relationship, and deepens the relationship that i sent that joy to.

i don't care if i don't make any sense. i am simply so overjoyed and completely happy with God and my life right now. 

ps. Jesus loves you. & I do too!
