Saturday

“Those who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s children.

For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid;

instead, the Spirit makes you God’s children, and by the Spirit’s power we cry out to God, ‘Father! my Father!’

God’s Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God’s children.”

~Romans 8:14-16 GNT~
