Thanking God for the privilege to be His child & Praying for our Forever Family in Christ
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. - 1 John 3:1-2 ESV

Praise - Father God we thank you for giving us the right to become your children. For being able to call you Abba Father as your adopted children. For giving us affirming our heritage in you. That we are no longer slaves but fellow citizens with the members of the household of God.
Pray - for our Forever Family to know they have an extended family in Christ all around the world and in heaven. That we would seek the opportunity to do good to them and especially those in the household of faith. To be reminded that when one member suffers, we all suffer together. On the other hand when one member is honored we can all rejoice together.
Intercede - We lift up that person on our heart and mind, who has yet to be a part of the forever family. We ask that You O Lord would do whatever it takes to help them know you love them. Open their eyes to see and believe what you did on the cross for their sins. Help them to turn their lives over to you and become a member of the family of Christ.
Scriptures:
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. - Romans 8:16 NLT
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - John 1: 12 ESV
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. - Ephesians 2:19-22 ESV
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. - Galatians 6:10 ESV
If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. - 1 Corinthians 12:26 ESV
