The time is coming soon, if it hasn’t already. A moment of self-realization that something you say or do is exactly like a relative from a previous generation. Maybe it’s a phrase you say, a distinctive mannerism, or an attitude you have. There’s nothing we can do about inherited traits. We didn’t necessarily ask for it, but it becomes a part of us. Some may call it a blessing, others a curse.

As children of God we have inherited a calling. Maybe we didn’t ask for it. Perhaps there are times when we selfishly wish we could live for ourselves and not for others. But that’s not how it works when we hope in Christ.

We realize our spiritual inheritance when we recognize the blessing we’ve been given in the Holy Spirit. We are created not for personal glory, but for the glory of God. We are called to share the inheritance of this good news with the world. In time, our words, mannerisms, and attitudes may indeed reflect the One from whom all blessings flow. #LikeChrist #ToGodBeTheGlory
