The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

Romans 8.15.

Welcome to this daily encouragement from our daily bread.

What Your Father Wants was written and read by Mike Whitmer.

Romans chapter 8, verses 14 through 17 For those who are led by the spirit of God are the children of God.

The spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again.

Rather, the spirit you received brought about

your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father. The spirit himself testifies

with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and co-hears with Christ,

if indeed we share in His sufferings, in order that we may also share in His glory.

What Your Father Wants

Steve grabbed his chainsaw and headed out to the woods.

That's when he heard five-year-old August.

Wait for me, Dad. I want to come.

Grabbing his toy chainsaw, work gloves, and earmuffs, August followed Steve out the door.

Steve set out a couple of logs for him a safe distance away.

After ten minutes, August was worn out.

Cutting logs with a fake chainsaw is hard work, but he was happy to help his dad,

and his dad was delighted to spend time with his son.

Isn't this how it is with our Heavenly Father? We suppose we're helping. Wait for me, Dad. I need to get my

chainsaw. But our chainsaw is the least important thing about us.

We're not helping as much as we think.
