I have a folder on my desk marked, “Faith Stuff”. It’s where I tuck the numerous bits and pieces I find along the way. Some are handouts from church, or things I’ve found on the internet, bible verses I want to remember, or encouragements given to me from friends. One of the sheets of paper was given to me years ago in “cell group”. It’s a listing of what God says about me. About you. So, I’m thankful:
71: That I am a saint (Eph. 1:1)
72. That I am hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3)
73. That I am chosen by God, holy and dearly loved (Col. 3:12)
74. That I am a child of the light (! Thess. 5:5)
75. That I am a holy partaker of God’s heavenly calling (Heb. 3:!)
76. I am sanctified (Heb. 2:11)
77. I am one of God’s living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house (1 Pet. 2:5)
78. I may approach God with boldness, freedom, and confidence (Eph. 3:12)
79. I have been rescued from Satan’s domain and transferred into the Kingdom of Christ (Col. 1:13)
80. My needs are met by God. (Phil 4:19)
Today, I’ll try and live like I believe it.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
