You Are LOVED

Good Morning!! What words come to mind when asked to describe yourself? Sometimes we might define ourselves by listing our failures and our negative traits. But God has a different perspective! If we are followers of Christ, this is how God sees us;

We say: I'm a failure. I can't do anything right.
God says: You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Philippians 4:13

We say: I still feel guilty about things I've done in the past, even through I've confessed it all as sin and don't do it anymore.
God says: I blot out your sins and remember them no more. Isaiah 43:25

We say: Sometimes I feel so unlovable. How can God possibly keep on loving me?
God says: God says nothing can separate us from His love. Romans 8:38-39
We say: I tend to be such a fearful person.
God says: The righteous are as bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1

God calls us beloved. He sees us as righteous, chosen,...and forgiven. He sees us as His treasures,...His children.

I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels.—Isaiah 61:19 (NLT)

Lord, thank You for clothing us in the righteousness of Christ. Help us not to think too lowly, or too highly, of ourselves,...but to see us as You see us. In Jesus' name Amen.

"When you begin to align your goals with God's goals, and your desires with God's desires,

...you will rid your life of anger, anxiety, and depression."
