God's Goals For Your Roles: Devotions From Time Of Grace MinistrySample

INTRODUCTION TO SECTION THREE: CHILDREN Grown-ups love being around children because they seem so fresh and innocent, so carefree and simple. Sad to say, the real story is more harsh--children are born into the world with a miniature version of Satan in them. They need to be born again, and they need to be trained in their new identity. All godly behavior is learned behavior. But here's the good news--young ones who have been baptized change identities in a significant way. They are adopted into God's royal family. The Lord of the universe accepts an obligation toward them as a Father. He implants the powerful Holy Spirit in each baptized heart. And now, kids, God's goal for your role is that you live out your purpose as royal children of a kingly Father. Let him change the programming in your brain. Instead of finding excitement in being a selfish rebel, let him inspire the following attitudes in your heart.
