Child of God, Realization

I was brought into this world nameless,
I was given a name which is not mine,
I was grown up with that name,
I was called by everyone by that name,
My academics, my carrier and my everything was on that name,
Even my wrong doings and my sins one day accuse me by my name,
A name that wasn't me gave me nothing but death eternal,
A death that I was to have, was takenup by someone whom I knew never.
But when I knew Him, He said, as I took your sins and it's consequences,
You are no more yours, but MINE,
And given me a new name, which is my actual name,
He (God) made me carefully and wonderfully and gave me that name,
Knowing not with what I'm called by,
Gave myself a name and lived my life, my way,
But now as I know my name, renewed and cleansed,
I'm blessed and live eternally in my Lord's house, as I'm called, "Child of God".

Ye are gods!

This is how my Lord Jesus had made his way into this world for me.

Jesus speaks in John.10:34,35, "Ye are gods". The word 'gods' refer here to all those past judges and rulers of Israel in other words those who are of specific responsibilities or in a sense people of authority. In Psalm.82:6, A'saph, man of high rank or dignity, one of Davids' chief musicians, writes in his psalm "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High".

Yes, we are gods we are here with a specific responsibilities within our family and within our professions too. Though Jesus reminds of 'gods' to them (Jews) quoting from the Scriptures of OT, we are here as same as in the past. Though, Jesus wants to make his point of claiming himself as "Son of God"; he making his way saying "I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I myself, but he sent me" (John.8:42); (Romans.8:3) "God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man, to be a sin offering" cleansing us from all the sin and it's consequences on the Cross and making us into his likeness and glorifying us (Romans.8:29,30). Making us like gods, gods (responsible citizens in building the Kingdom of God).

Lord, help us to be like gods, gods after your own line, in building your Kingdom on earth. Thank you Lord, for all that you have done for us.
