…you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God.
And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” (Rom 8:15)
So many of us live under a constant cloud of memory-fuelled discouragement, in a constant state of confusion, we repress everything in the hope of finding peace – even the good!
All of this stems from our insecurity - we feel unacceptable.
Your Word says that this ‘orphan’ spirit was cast out of our lives when we welcomed Jesus, the Christ of GOD, to come and live in us.
Lord, this day I choose to believe the Truth of what you say. I choose NOT to feel orphaned any longer but instead believe that I belong within the family of GOD, and as you rise up within me, my spirit will 'willingly' join with yours in saying the words of tender affection, “my Beloved Father!”
