Who Am I???

OK, I have to be honest, when I first started reading this book I didn't think I would like it at all. I am reading a book now called "Help Meet" by Debi Pearl- which I also recommend; however, it is a completely conservative book about how we are to be our husbands helper. I think most people have a horrible view on what it means to submit and I won't get into that now, but I don't think it has to be one way or another. After reading the first couple chapters of this book I realized that we can serve others so much easier if we can hold onto the TRUTH of what GOD thinks of us and not of what others are thinking of us.
I LOVE the way Jen reminds us how God loves us and views us...
"You are the work of my hands; I'm showing off through you." (Isaiah 60:21)
"I have chosen you, and my Son prays for you when you feel condemned." (Romans 8:33-34)
That is so important to remember everyday. Ladies- we should be memorizing these verses and repeating them over and over in our minds!

If you have any question who you are in Christ, PLEASE read Ephesians. I think the first few verses speak volumes.

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. And he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
In him we were also chosen,having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.


WOW!!! Are we going to believe what others tell us or are we going to agree with our Maker and Savior that we are holy and blameless?!!

I recommend this book to anyone who has had someone tell them they aren't good enough, because you are! We are each uniquely made by God and he loves us all so much! :)
