Our gift for Mother's Day/Fathers Day...was to become a Lord and a Lady!
Our daughter purchased us property in Glencoe Wood, Highland, Scotland...and even though it is only one square foot each...we now can hold the titles Lord Kevin and Lady Tracey! You laugh! We laughed! How neat! A very sweet and thoughtful gift...as Kevin's family line traces back to Scotland!
But it got me thinking...
About receiving a title....
📖 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9
We have royal blood if we have accepted Christ as our savior.
📖 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12
📖 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17
But what did we have to pay or purchase to be able to call ourselves "Child of the one true King", "heirs of the King"
Our cost....nothing!
The price was already paid for us!
Unlike Rachel, who paid money to the nature concervency that does this very neat project....the price for our "title" was paid with Christ's blood, with His life.
📖 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— Romans 3:25
📖 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:12-14
Someday Kevin and I may get to make the trip to see our two square feet of Scotland, maybe.
But I know for sure we will one day walk those streets of gold and enter the mansion prepared especially for us.
📖 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14:1-3
📖 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass. Revelation 21:21
We have many names attached to ours once He is our King.
📖 which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords..1 Timothy 6:15
Created

But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; Isaiah 43:1-5a
he who created you, Jacob,

I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; Isaiah 43:1-5a
“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God. Isaiah 43:10-12
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God. Isaiah 43:10-12
"Lord" and "Lady" are fun...but these are eternal!
🙏I pray today that you have recieved a title....you can claim you are a saved and precious child of the one true King!❤ 🤴 👑
A side note....our gift from our other daughter: 😉🤣
