TAKE COURAGE IN KNOWING WHO AND WHOSE YOU ARE

TAKE COURAGE IN KNOWING WHO AND WHOSE YOU ARE

Together with kindness and in understanding, let’s take this time to self reflect. I am here to inspire, encourage, and remind you that God has given us the most important weapon we have to fight the enemy, his WORD.

Now let’s dress our soul like we dress our bodies, EVERYDAY!

Take Courage in Knowing Who and Whose You Are

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 ESV

As I stand looking into the bathroom mirror, I see a reflection of a woman with all of the imperfections. As I stand thoughts about my christian identity comes to mind. We were made in the image of God. How incredible is that! That means that we have his original DNA. When you look into the mirror do you see who and whose you are?

The dictionary defines identity as the fact of being who or who a person or thing is. For example a person’s name. It is also the condition or fact of being the same, associated or affiliated with something, Do you know who you are in Jesus Christ? We are his sons and daughters, He is our bread in a barren land, he is water when we are thirsty, he is a friend to the friendly, he is the way, truth, and the light to our path.

Knowing who you are is important as it provides purpose in our everyday lives. When challenges come our way, misunderstandings, and confusion we have God’s word to stand on. Knowing who we are in Christ and through his Word we have the tools needed to build up ourselves on what living life is all about. Joy, happiness, persistence, and a good sense of humor along the way.

Before we can understand who we are in Christ we have to know who God is. The scriptures tell us, he is our creator, he is unchanging, he is love, he is faithful, he is knowledge, he is a spirit, he is the light, he is our father and he is a consuming fire. Now that we got that covered let’s look at who we are in the Lord.

We are forgiven, blessed, accepted, loved, sealed with the Holy Ghost, a child of the most high God, and solider. You are beauty out of ashes, encouraged, believing God for all things, you can do all things through Christ who is your strength, you new creation by the renewing of my mind, you can have peace that passes all understanding, YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH!

Remember we are each others keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
