What if our freedom from sin, our desire to see the Holy Spirit manifest in incredible ways, our ambition to be "sin ninjas for Jesus," our longing to be shining beacons of God's love and righteousness, and our hope to see people come to know God by the thousands—what if all these things began because we first learned to accept our identity as God's children?

What if we stopped striving for greatness and learned to trust the Holy Spirit alive and at work in each of our lives?

Ask yourself this week:

• Do I have the foggiest idea how loved I am right now?
• Am I trying to overcome sin in my own strength or through the power of the Holy Spirit?
• What fills my thoughts most days? Do they reflect life and peace?
• When was the last time I simply sat in the reality of being God's beloved child?
