Looking back over the generations of your family, what can you identity as your spiritual heritage?
Do you see crippling strongholds that have prevented positive nurture?
Or do you see healthy strength of character that has been shaped by the hand of the Lord?
These generational qualities make such an impact on our families, even though we may not realize it.
Make an effort to search out the positive gifts that have been passed from father or mother, to you; and delight in those things.
Life is hard ~ and many generations of families struggle to rise above circumstances that overwhelm them. If this has become a marker in your family history, please realize that when you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are adopted into the family of God!
You can claim your royal heritage as a child of God! The heavenly Father gives you a place in His Kingdom and you have an inheritance kept for you in Heaven! Wow!
From Generation to Generation- we can claim our dynamic and loving heavenly Father as our very own!
Nothing is more important, nor more powerful, than being able to leave this message of Believing and Trusting in the Heavenly Father,the salvation of Jesus Christ , and relying on the Holy Spirit of God....to those who come after us!
from your generation...........forward to all generations to come........
