I am so excited to start our week long challenge of loving our King!! So, here we go :)
A battle I (well Christ in me), has fought long and hard has finally came to an end. I am rejoicing in who I am as a daughter of the Most High. But are you?
When you look in the mirror, do you believe that you are made in the image of a perfect Creator? Do you judge yourself against others, wishing "if only.."?
I've always struggled with this area, thinking that God "messed up" (even though there are no mistakes made by God). I was taught from a young age that I was not enough to win a man's affection and attention (and that is the one thing that I wanted to do, at that point in time). I was told that I would never be beautiful, because of a disorder that I have absolutely no control over.
I was told, "you have no purpose".
And for years after I came to God, I didn't like to think about myself as "His workmanship", because I wasn't in my eyes. But, in His mercy, God showed me who I am, in Him.
I said, and (maybe you do too)....
I am too wretched for God. but God says: Isaiah 1:18
I am alone. Hebrews 13:5
God doesn't want me. Zephaniah 3:17
I am too much for Him, and not enough. John 15:13
See, God wants you to fall in love with who He is. We are not to focus on ourselves, but on Him, and the fact that we are adopted as Sons and Daughters through His Son's resurrection. When you are focused on Him, and who He is, then you will begin to see that since He is perfect, He did not make a mistake in creating you just as you are. You have a destiny. That destiny is to spend forever with the Man who will wipe away all your tears.
So, ask God, Who are you? Who am I in you?
Then thank Him, because you are fearfully and wonderfully made!!!
