Father by Adoption
Romans 8:
11 Does the Spirit of the one who brought Jesus back to life live in you?
Then the one who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
12 So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live.
13 If you live by your corrupt nature, you are going to die.
But if you use your spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of the body, you will live.
14 Certainly, all who are guided by God's Spirit are God's children.
15 You haven't received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again.
Instead, you have received the spirit of God's adopted children by which we call out, "Abba! Father!"

I have received the Spirit of Adoption
I know that my heavenly Father loves me and accepts me.
I know that His favour and blessing is on my life.
I am resting in His joy and presence.
My heart is comfortable.
I am happy doing what my heavenly Father has called me to do everyday.
I am happy serving others and being a blessing in God's kingdom, because I don't have to earn my Father's love.
I'm comfortable with ordinary people, and not jealous of others
My heavenly Father is in control of my life and future, so I'm not worried.
Because my heavenly Father loves me, I can be a blessing to others.
I am confident in the love and acceptance of Father God.
I am settled and grounded in being the son of our heavenly Father and I know I belong in Him.
