We are children of God

  Jesus Said, "WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER
  IN HEAVEN IS MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND MOTHER."
                         ( MATTHEW 12:50 *NIV )

       Now that means that; YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD
   THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, FOR ALL OF YOU
   WHO WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE CLOTHED
   YOURSELVES WITH CHRIST.  THERE IS NEITHER JEW
   NOR GREEK, SLAVE NOR FREE, MALE NOR FEMALE,
   FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.
   ( GALATIANS 4:26-28 )

       Further, BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS, GOD
   SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS, THE
   SPIRIT CALLS OUT, "ABBA, FATHER."   SO YOU ARE
   NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND SINCE YOU
   ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR.
   ( GALATIANS 4:6-7 )

       CONSEQUENTLY, YOU ARE NO LONGER FOREIGNERS
   AND ALIENS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH GOD'S PEOPLE
   AND MEMBERS OF GOD'S HOUSEHOLD, BUILT ON THE
   FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, WITH
   JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF AS THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE.
   ( EPHESIANS 2:19-20 )

       So; DEAR FRIENDS, NOW WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD,
   AND WHAT WE WILL BE HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE
   KNOWN.  BUT WE KNOW THAT WHEN HE APPEARS, WE
   SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.
   ( 1 JOHN 3:2 )

       So,  if you are ever feeling down and depressed just
   think about who you are, an heir of your Heavenly Father!   That
   fact should cheer you up indeed!  Amen!
