Trace, my son, doesn’t have to do anything for him to be valued by me. He’s just my son. His value comes from whose he is. His value to me comes from him being alive and me being his mother.

He doesn’t have to do anything for me to find pleasure in him.

He doesn’t have to earn his status or do something for me to take care of him.

He’s my son and because I’m a good mom, he’s blessed and taken care of.

The same is true for us.

Once we’re born again through Jesus and because of what He did on the cross, we enter into sonship.

The Bible teaches us that we are adopted into the family of God. He puts His name on us. We are therefore His. His sons and daughters.

And what do sons and daughters need to do to be taken care of and loved?

Be.

Just be.

If you don’t know what “just being” means or looks like, I encourage you to sit and ask YAHWEH who He says you are.

Write down the names and descriptions He gives you.

Search His word for what He’s already said about all of His children.

And “be” that.

Live from who you are because of Whose you are, and not by the standards of the world or our culture.

I learn so much from watching people. I’m influenced easily.

So, I must guard what and who I watch and listen to. I want to learn from and listen to Kingdom people who know the voice of YAHWEH.

If you don’t hear His voice, ask Him.

He said Himself, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know each one of them, and they follow me.”

I believe you can still hear His voice and whispers today.

Ask Him.

Seek Him. Just like His Word says.

And be.

Be His child and the one He loves.

Make your choices by what He says and out of who He says you are.

A child is enjoyed because they’re a child. Be a child of the King and enjoy His presence as He enjoys yours.

“Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42b

“But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 10:41-42 ESV

The good portion was sitting at Jesus’ feet.
