I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, ‘You are my son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. (Psalm 2: 7-8)

We are all children of God. I am a son of God.

As such I have inherited certain fundamental characteristics. These are beyond my ability to choose or change.

I am also due an inheritance. But this I can reject or accept.

If I choose to behave as a son, in authentic relationship with God, then a generous inheritance is mine. If I choose to be out of relationship, God will respect my choice.

I love God.
