When you were a newborn baby, most likely you were surrounded by warmth, tenderness, comfort, and love. So why doesn't the world treat you anything like this when you're born again? A newborn baby is welcomed by the world into which it's born. At your first birth, you were born into this world; but at your second birth you were born into the Kingdom of Heaven. So don't expect this world to pamper you, cherish you, be gentle, bless you, or even accept you. It doesn't have to. If you were of this world, the world would love its own, but you were born into heaven. Therefore, seek not your love, blessing, and acceptance from earth. Seek your pampering, comfort, warmth, tenderness, and acceptance from heaven. In fact, whenever this world rejects you, disappoints you, and hurts you, rejoice and be glad. It's a confirmation that you're not its child and you belong to another kingdom. So seek your love and blessing not from this world, but from your everlasting kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven to which you were born into'because you are heaven's baby.
From Message #142 - Fruitful and Multiplying
Seek your acceptance, identity, and love not from this world, but from your Heavenly Father who will freely give it to you today.
Scripture: 1 John 5:1
