Say it with me by heart today, as we continue to learn WHO we are in Christ…because our DO flows from our WHO
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Pr 4:23 NIV
Hi Friends, Diane here. So WHO are we in Christ? Oh my Friends, if you have surrendered your life to Jesus as Savior and Lord, please hear this and let it filter down deep into your heart: you are beloved, you are holy, you are a child of God. You are no longer guilty, you are forgiven. You are secure in His Love, you are forevermore a member of His Forever Family. You belong to God, not yourself, not this world, and certainly not the devil. These three enemies no longer own you, God does, and He is the most gentle, loving understanding, kind, gracious Master! He loves you right where you are…even as you are trying to make sense of all this WHO vs DO stuff. We do not need to behave perfectly because our heart is already inhabited by the Perfect One. And He Who began this good work within us, oh this marvelous God is faithful to see us through until we are whole and complete in Him.
Please let what God says about you, lead you. If it is true that we are beloved, then we can act loving to everyone God places along our path. If it is true that we are holy, then we can begin to act different than we used to act. If it is true that we are God’s children, then we can continue to seek Him, grow in Him, enjoy life through Him…we can live NEW because we ARE new. See it? I pray you do…
