When I see
myself, I see my failures and shortcomings. I see that I am a woman who
has had circumstances shape who she is and not what she is. I have let my
past dictate me. Not anymore! Lysa Terkeurst says in her book
Made to Crave that God defines us not who we are and where we come from. I so like that and look forward to learning
more about myself when it comes to how God sees me.
Andrea the
forgiven child of God. (Romans 3:24) - by his grace through Christ
Jesus.
Andrea the
set-free child of God. (Romans 8:1-2)-because the Spirit's law of life
in Jesus Christ has set me free from the law of sin which is death.
Andrea the
accepted child of God. (1 Corinthians 1:2)-because I am sanctified in him. I
have brothers and SISTERs all around this world.
Andrea the
holy child of God. (1 Corinthians 1:30)-Jesus gave me God-given wisdom--my
righteousness, sanctification, and redemption in order that I may boast in the
Lord.
Andrea the
made-new child of God. (2 Corinthians 5:17)-because I am in Christ, I am a new
creation; old things have passed away (or should be passed away), and look for
new things to come.
Andrea the
loved child of God. (Ephesians 1:4)-for he chose me before the foundation
of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
Andrea the
close child of God. (Ephesians 2:13)-I was far away but now because of Jesus
blood I can be closer to God.
Andrea the
confident child of God. (Ephesians 3:12)-my faith in Him gives me boldness and
confident access through faith in Him.
Andrea the
victorious child of God. (Romans 8:37)-I am only victorious because he loves
me.
Awesome! I do the same thing with scripture.
