A Love Letter from a Savior

This past month or so, I've been searching and studying my identity in Christ. I've known for a WHILE that I just didn't see myself the way I should, but it took a life-changing weekend in New Mexico with Living Life by Design for me to finally begin to figure it out. Tonight, I was summing up one of my goals, which was to research 30 identity verses and claim them as my own. I want to see myself as God sees me, not the twisted view I've created. At the suggestion of my fabulous life coach, Dr. Shawn Lenhardt, I began writing the verses in first person. It was a GAME CHANGER y'all. SERIOUSLY. Try it. So after rewriting them all in the order I found them, I begin listing the "gists." Here's what God's word says - with a few conjunctions by Courtney. 😊

I am salt, light, a supported servant.
I am confident and unafraid, no longer inferior, called to be free.
I am a child of promise named My Delight.
I have overwhelming victory and God approves of me without my earning it.
I am no longer condemned, but a friend.
I am chosen and sealed with His holy spirit.
God has made me who I am, one of a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.
I belong to God because I am born of God.
I have the mind of Christ because I am so miraculously and wonderfully made.
God made me and I am His.
Through Him I am being built in His spirit, the child he loves.
He has made me complete in Christ, a branch of the true vine.
For I have died and am hidden with Christ in my Father. There is therefore no condemnation for me.
I am God's chosen one, appointed a prophet to the nations.
 I am one with him in Spirit, because I am His masterpiece, created to do great works He has planned for me.

Wow God! What a love letter!
