How do you identify yourself
Who do you think you are
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to
become children of God, to those who believe in His name

And knows that he is the object of unrelenting affirmation and affection from his divine father.
He gives us the chance to be men like Him –
relating to the Father as royal sons and reigning in in our world
as servant rulers.
