Voice of the Lord
Those whom he knew in advance, he also determined in advance would be conformed to the pattern of his Son (Romans 8:29).
A king had twins. The older one was destined to the throne. However, the twins were mixed up at birth and no one knew for sure who was the eldest. To complicate matters, the king told each of his children not to worry, that in due time the rightful heir to the throne would be revealed. As the king got older and older, many—including his royal court—pressed him to make the selection. He would respond, "Be patient, time will tell."He told his wife that the real successor to the throne would become apparent to all. But his wife became frustrated, saying, "If you do not know the rightful heir, then how can others know?" The king refused to select one of his sons, instead saying, "Give it time."
Eventually, one child began to look more and more like his father, the king. That same son also began to act more and more like his father. Then everyone knew that this was the real prince, the successor to his father's throne.
Many profess the name of God, and purport to be coheirs with Yeshua. However, the true heirs are the ones who look like their Father.
...seek to come closer to my Father so that I might look and act more like his Son.
