14-Oct-2021_to be a child of God
(Jesus speaking: ) How to become a child of God, it’s really very simple. Just set aside your own pride and image and wish-fors, and jump into My arms. That’s all there is to it. But getting there, getting to the point of leaving all else, all other “pottages” of this world that try to bribe you to give up who you are, takes hunger. Yes. You have to get pretty hungry to be ready to embrace Me alone, and not feast on the World. 
What’s better than satisfying your hunger? Finding the right table to feast on, first of all. 
So come, come to My side, all ye that hunger and thirst after righteousness. Come. All things are ready. I bid you to the feast, all ye that labour and are heavy laden. I will feed My flock. But a good healthy bit of hunger works up an appetite for the right kind of food. 
Allow Me to work the circumstances and moods in your human soul that give you an emptiness in some places of your heart, all for the purpose of being good and ready for the best food of all—fed at the father’s table. 
Sons get to sit down and eat when the father does. 
If you are content to merely serve, and not come in closer to My family, then you can help to serve the table while the closest ones sit down to eat. Sons get to feast, while the servants still are working to serve. 
Sons serve too, but when it’s time to eat, they get fed.
Are you a son or merely a servant, content to work and get paid, and then go to your own comforts when the day is done? 
A son sits at the table long after the food has come and gone. Why? To be fed with the words and counsel and companionship of a father and a family. Servants might overhear a thing or too, and most likely draw the wrong conclusions of what is actually being discussed and talked about, as they only hear snippets. But sons who sit at the father’s side from the start of the meal, and long into the night as the talking and communing, singing and sharing are going on, get to hear the whole matter and don’t miss important things. 
Are you a son or a mere servant? The son might need to work alongside with the trusted servants; or help to order the younger ones what to do and how to do the job, as he learns responsibility. He’s not a waif that does nothing, but he too works hard, just like his father has and does. But when the day is done he gets to relax right away, and gets to hear the full scoop of all kinds of matters that are going on in the Kingdom. He gets the inside information.
