Well it has been a day or two since I decided to start a
blog…like 16 months to be exact, so I guess you could say that I am not very faithful
to the blog world, but anyway here is entry #2. J
My last blog was about finding TRUTH in situations in
your life even when all the FACTS around you scream the opposite. There is only one way to find truth and that
is in the word of God. What does He say
about your situation, your sickness, your marriage, your co-workers who drive
you crazy (not mine, of course)….most importantly what does He say about
YOU? Who does He say you are?
Over the past couple of days I have come in contact with
some people whose “situations” have broken my heart. I guess that is why I decided to blog again
about this particular subject. I think
so many people in our world today have no clue who they are, especially who
they are in Christ.
I have heard that
raising children is 18 years of letting go and the older my kids get the more I
realize that is so true. I have been
challenged this week to really pound into my kids who they are in Christ. Let’s face it…there are going to be times
that we don’t get what we think we want.
We aren’t going to make the sports team we wanted, we aren’t going to
get in the play we wanted, we aren’t going to make Show Choir, we aren’t going to
be picked for who’s who, we aren’t chosen for the homecoming court, we aren’t
going to get the job we want, we aren’t able to have the children we thought we
would have, we aren’t going to be married to the person we thought we would be
married to for the rest of our life….these are real FACTUAL situations that us
or our children could find ourselves in.
But, do we let them define who we are?
NO, we have to get TRUTH from God’s word other than looking at the FACTS
that seem to surround us.
Satan and the world will want to tell us that we are not
good enough, not pretty enough, not talented enough, not popular enough, not
skinny enough, not nice enough, not rich enough, not athletic enough, the list
could go on and on. What we have to do
for ourselves is to find out the TRUTH about who we really are. If you are a parent it is so important to
teach your kids the TRUTH about who they really are. I am challenged more than ever to be the
person that Christ wants me to be and especially more than ever about teaching
my kids who God says they are. So who
are you? Who does God’s word say you
are?
Well, if you are a believer here is just a little bit of
TRUTH about who He says you are. Don’t
let anyone tell you any different.
You
are a child of God, You are justified, You are redeemed, You have been
completely forgiven, You have been made righteous, You are forever free from
condemnation, You are accepted by Christ, You are triumphant, You are a new
creation, You are His workmanship, You are a royal priesthood, You are an enemy
of the devil, You are created in His image….so You must be AMAZING!
So true. Thank you Dawn
