 We don’t have royalty today, at least not in the United States.  So the idea of being an heir is not something we commonly think of unless of course, we are thinking about inheritance.  Inheritance is one element of being an heir but carrying out the legacy is another aspect.  What is the legacy of God?  What is it as a child of God that I am a part of?  What have I have inherited from God?  How am I a child of God?  These are all questions that I must ask myself.  If I believe God to be my true Father, my creator, what is it that I take on as part of that family?  What are the principles that I am being taught to carry out–love, acceptance, beauty, care, justice, patience, courage.  Whatever my conception of God, I am a part of that lineage.  I need to embrace and carry out that line of being.  I look to scriptures and stories of God to better understand what that means  living in the world that I am living in now.  I look to examples of others who have followed God to see what that looks like in action.  I can easily become an heir to the world–going along seeking the approval of the world around me and I may succeed.  The difficulty arises for me when the world’s view changes so quickly.  I need to align myself with God and God’s lineage because it is constant.  What are you an heir to?  My prayer for you today is that you seek out the principles by which you want to measure your life and see how you can do so in some small way.  I pray that you may see yourself as part of the family of God, a god that loves you so much he created a whole world for you to practice and play in.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
