“And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father. Therefore, now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God. “
Galatians 4.6-7 (DRB)
You are more than a servant!
As a Catholics we often think about ourselves very low. We are usually overwhelmed by God’s power and greatness. And it is true that God is great, powerful and awesome. But we should not think about ourselves lower then God thinks abut us, it doesn’t make God greater and it doesn’t glorify Him.
Thirst of all God thinks about us as of his children, but a way we picture it is wrong. We think that being God’s children is like being powerless, weak, and without any rights. But God is also calling us sons (this applies to woman too) and son is somebody mature, responsible , wise, somebody who can speak in the name of his Father, somebody making decisions and taking responsibility for what belongs to the Father. But look God goes even further, he calls us his heirs! If you are sons then you are also heirs! You are an heir of God, heir of his Kingdom, heir of his riches and power! God made his Kingdom yours; He not only gave you salvations but also gave you all what He had! Heaven is yours! Entire Universe is yours! That is what means to be a child of almighty God! You are no more just a servant (yet we still serve Him because we love Him and he is our Father), you are son and heir, whatever was His is also yours. You are a son of King of Kings and Lord of Lords! So raise your head high and walk tall!
