These are unprecedented days, when it feels like earth’s axis has shifted & our planet is holding its breath. We struggle to function normally & find stability.
We must look beyond ourselves to our Creator & His love for us:
‘Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is an illusion’
(Brennan Manning)
‘For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.’
(Zephaniah 3:17 NLT)
If we trust God as our Saviour, we can find hope & peace. For these days & anyday.
‘Not because of who I am
But because of what you’ve done’
(Who am I-Casting crowns)
‘You are one in whom Christ delights & dwells, & you live in the strong & unshakable Kingdom of God’
(James Bryan Smith)
‘I am chosen
Not forsaken’
(I am who You say I am)
‘You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don’t belong, oh, You say I am Yours
And I believe’
(Lauren Daigle-You say)
‘I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God’
(No longer slaves)
‘See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.’
(1 John 3:1 ESV)
I am Abba’s child & I can rest in that truth- today & always.
