I’m sure
most parents consider their children to be their heirs. We may not all be in a
position to leave our kids with a huge inheritance. On the other hand, most of
us share everything with our kids now:
- Food
- Money
- Time
- Household Items
- Appliances
- Jewelry
Our kids
live in our houses. They have complete access to our homes and our money. How do
they earn it? They don’t. Our heirs are merely born into our families. They
receive prosperity merely because we give it to them.
My Family
This is the
most recent picture of my family. You can see that I have two heirs. They are
living off my money right now. They didn’t do anything special to deserve it. In fact, they often disrespect me and follow
their own agendas. Yet, I give them all they need through grace. They live a
middle-class life because that’s what I provide.
Britain
Let’s take a
huge step up and visit the British royal family. The two latest members of that
family are heirs to the British throne.
This is His
Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge. He is a member of
the Windsor family that has ruled England since 1917. He is the oldest child of
Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton. They are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Prince George is third in line to the throne
behind his grandfather, Prince Charles, and his father. It’s highly likely this
cutie will rule England someday.
This young
royal is a toddler. He has done nothing, in himself, to earn the privileged
lifestyle to which he was born. Whether
or not he actually becomes king, he will always live a much more lavish lifestyle
than approximately 99% of the world.
This is his
recently born sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of
Cambridge. Princess Charlotte is the first female to be born so close to the
throne since the time of Queen Victoria. She is named after three royal
princesses, including her well-loved grandmother, Princess Diana. In the same
manner as her brother, she is an heir to all the honors of her lofty lineage.
This is signified by the crown she’s wearing in the above image.
Princess
Charlotte will probably not rule the country. She will still be able to live a
life of luxury. This sweetie will have the capability to do a number of things:
- Travel extensively
- Meet famous people
- Live in palaces
- Choose not to work for a living
- Buy expensive food and clothes
- Marry a member of the nobility, or royalty
Us
We are heirs of God—THE God, The
Creator of the Universe. Stop and pause about the momentous meaning of those words for a moment.
He wants us to have joy and peace. His grace
is ours, if we’ll receive it. That means
we have the ability to tap into His unlimited
power and prosperity.
Do you
believe you are God’s heir?
