“I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:1-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”  Do you see yourself as a son of God or a slave to the world?  How are our priorities different when we are sons of God?  Whose approval do we seek?  Where do we get joy?  Please pray that we and our friends see ourselves correctly and live accordingly today. Please pray for a friend of mine who is struggling.
