{ Day 31: Jesus Is_ - J&C. Smith }

• Romans 8:31-2 - "What shall we say about such wonderful thing as these, if God is for us, who can ever be against us? For He did not even spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, won't He also give us everything else?"
• God already gave us His most valuable and priced procession to Him, Jesus, so we should not have to look further than that
• Check the score, Jesus has won, it's finished, and from that everything else is settled so we can have peace about every other circustance, because we have been given the best gift there is
• No matter what or who is against, God is for you, so we have the most profound majority in the known and unknown universe

just amazed as this is so spot on to what mum just shared with me this morning... this exact verse is such a reminder to our entire family that in such a time as this, He is repeatedly assuring us of His presence and grace that is ever so steadfast in any overwhelming and undeserving circumstance there is. just seeing how a unit as ours is so steadfast and standing so faithfully still on this revelation is such a encouragement to one's disappointment. this shall be the very theme of our household, and if Grace is on our end, the other, is simply finished. think i'll tune in to rest now.

ps: it's not over.

{ When God is in it, there is no limit. Pt. 2 }

No matter where you’ve been, no matter what you’ve done, realize today that your destiny supersedes your mistakes. When God designed the plan for your life, it wasn’t dependent on you being perfect, never making a mistake, or never taking a wrong turn. No, God knew we would all make mistakes. He knows how to get you back on track no matter where you are in life. Just like there are many routes on a map, God has a plan to help you reach your destination. He has detours, shortcuts and bypasses. He has already calculated the entire route for your life.

"Get your passion back. No obstacle is too much for you. No difficulty is too great. You and God are a majority. If God be for you, who dare be against you?"

{ Repost: Enjoying Who God Created You to Be - J. Meyer }

(Here's something for the sisterhood!)

Start believing today that you are a rare, one-of-a-kind, valuable and precious woman. To help you learn how to be successful at being yourself, I want to give you some easy-to-follow suggestions:

Speak good things about yourself. Declare what God’s Word says about you. For example, say to yourself, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I am made acceptable in the Beloved. God formed me with His own hand, He loves me, and God doesn’t make mistakes.”

Avoid comparing yourself with other women. God must love variety, or all of us wouldn’t look so different. He has created each of us differently right down to our fingertips. We can look to certain people as good examples to follow, but even then, good traits if duplicated will manifest differently through our individual personalities.

Focus on your potential instead of your limitations. Refuse to concentrate on your weaknesses except in an effort to turn them into strengths. Keep your flaws in perspective. People with a high level of confidence have just as many weaknesses as those without confidence, but they focus on their strengths instead of their weaknesses.

Learn to cope with criticism. If you dare to be different, you’ll have to expect some criticism. Going along with the crowd when you know in your heart that God is leading you in a different direction is one of the reasons women don’t succeed at being themselves. You won’t be comfortable in your own skin if you go against your own convictions.

You are a woman who is perfected and complete in Him. When you start to believe that, you will no longer feel that you are lacking anything or that there is anything wrong with you.

Remember this: God will never anoint you to be anyone other than yourself. Let now be your time to go forward and be set free from the torments of comparing yourself with others and trying to be someone you’re not. God is proud of who He made you to be!

{ You matter. }

wake up wednesday that YOU matter.

Then I ask, “Why do you care

about us humans?

Why are you concerned

for us weaklings?”

You made us a little lower

than you yourself,

and you have crowned us

with glory and honor.

You let us rule everything

your hands have made.

And you put all of it

under our power—

_Psalm 8:4-6 (Contempt Eng)
