Consider the richness of these things... we have received the adopting love of the Father, which has removed us from the family of the evil one, a family which is marked out by hatred, strife and maliciousness. We are no longer of this world, and the world does recognize us for we are now utterly foreign to them, they cannot begin to know us at all... He has purchased us, has made us His own special children and has promised that we will be given an inheritance AS His children, this inheritance is beyond our ability to ask, or imagine and will culminate in us finally being made JUST like Him... now, here is the wonder, oh precious and favored child, this becoming is accomplished by full, clear and unfiltered SEEING! Let that sink in for a moment, even now, the clearer we see Him, the more like Him we become... fix your eyes steadfastly upon Christ and let the world see His glory in you.
