Walls

Good Morning!! When we hide behind self-built defenses, we may have a sense that we are in control. We tell ourselves that we are holding our feelings in check. But in reality we are not in control at all,...our problems are doing all the steering. We've pushed away the people who really care about us, the ones who could help us. And we've allowed our problem, our situation, to run the show .

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.—Romans 8:37 (NKJV)Only when we allow the defensive walls to crumble, and start living, and choosing, and acting on the basis of who we are in Christ, and on all the strength and guidance and wisdom God has promised to provide, can we begin to practice true self-control.

Do you know who you are?,...because the Bible makes it clear.
Because of Christ;
We are redeemed,...paid for at a great price. (Ephesians 1:7)
We are forgiven,...clean … our sin has been forgotten. (Psalm 103:12)
We are strong and capable and can do everything through Christ. (Philippians 4:13)
We are conquerors,...an overcomers. (Romans 8:37)

Holy Spirit of God, help us to stop hiding behind our self-built defenses. Help us to see ourselves as You do, because of Christ,...redeemed, forgiven, strong, capable, and overcomers. Help us always to remember what a great price was paid at the cross so that we could have this new identity. In Jesus' name. Amen.
