Confused?


Your True Identity

      You are beautiful...
             because God created you in His likeness in His own beauty
      ...not because of how you look and define yourself.

      You are accepted...
            because of Christ who paid the price in Calvary
       ...not because of your performance, your accomplishments, your
      state of life.

     You are loved...
            because the Father gave His only Son to ransom your sins
      ...not because you are cherished and treasured by human affection.

     You are called...
            because Christ desires to have an intimate relationship with you
      ... not because of what you can give.

      These are just some of the wondrous truths of your true identity in Christ.
   In the secure arms of the everlasting God.


By the book: A woman and her God (Beth Moore)

      The Lord has not called us to subsistence living. We don't need to live on the alms of others. God had more in mind for us than that. We don't have to seek some other means of satisfaction or a substitute that never fulfills us. We can find it in the Lord, as we everyday afresh ourselves with His constant presence and truth.

Verses to hold on to:

~We know and rely on the love God has for us~
    (1 John 4:16)

~Psalm 63~
     This psalm is the heart of an intimate relationship that is initiated in Genesis 1 and
finalized in Revelation 19.


       1 ​​​​​​​​O God, you are my God;  earnestly I seek you;
        u my soul thirsts for you;
        my flesh faints for you,
        as in  a dry and weary land where there is no water.
       2 ​​​​​​​​So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
        beholding  your power and glory.
       3 ​​​​​​​​Because your  steadfast love is better than life,
        my lips will praise you.
       4 ​​​​​​​​So I will bless you y as long as I live;
        in your  name I will a lift up my hands.
       5 ​​​​​​​​My soul will be  satisfied as with fat and rich food,
        and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
       6 ​​​​​​​​when I remember you  upon my bed,
        and meditate on you in  the watches of the night;
       7 ​​​​​​​​for you have been my help,
        and in  the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
       8 ​​​​​​​​My soul  clings to you;
        your right hand  upholds me.
       9 ​​​​​​​​But those who seek to destroy my life
         shall go down into  the depths of the earth;
      10 ​​​​​​​​they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
        they shall be a portion for jackals.
      11 ​​​​​​​​But  the king shall rejoice in God;
        all who  swear by him shall exult,
         for the mouths of l liars will be stopped.
