"We are children of the heavenly Father; we therefore turn away from a spirit of complaint and dissatisfaction because it is so out-of-keeping with the spirit of His family. . . . Those who murmur and complain betray the ingratitude of what the New Testament calls the "spirit of slavery", not the fruit of the "Spirit of adoption" (Romans 8:15-16).
Christians need to remind themselves many times a day, "I am a child of the heavenly Father." Meditate on that blessing and its far-reaching implications. It will change your life; it will sweeten your spirit; it will put a touch of heaven into your soul."
