I Am So Much More!

As I begin my research on the topic of my identity in the world versus my identity in Christ, I am obsessed with seeking scripture's answers. We spend countless hours and days labeling ourselves and defining who we are with LIES! We are not what we do!! We are not our past mistakes! Praise God, we are so much more!
Today I will focus on these truths, and I encourage you to do the same...

•  My past does not define me. I am new! 2 Corinthians 5:17
  
• I am wonderfully made! Psalm 139:14
• I am victorious! Romans 8:37
• I am valuable! Romans 5:5-8
• My future is secure! Jeremiah 29:11
• I am redeemed! Galatians 3:13

 

• I am loved! Ephesians 2:1-10.....

And you were dead in the trespasses and sins  in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience-- among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved--  and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,  so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

If you have not trusted Jesus as your Savior,your Lord, your all in all, please do it soon! Being a Christian does not make your life easy, but it makes much lighter work of daily living! I promise! See yourself as you truly are. Read the Bible, the original and most accurate self help book ever published. The answers to your self image issues lie within its pages. Here's a hint...Jesus loves YOU! 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I ask your blessing on those reading this post today. Please help them to see their value as they put their trust in you and your promises. In Jesus' name I pray-Amen
