I AM LOVED
I AM IMPORTANT
AND I MATTER.
The above words are for us to live by everyday of life. Speaking words of life to yourself and it will spread inside your soul. I remember a time when I felt lost inside. I had isolated myself from people because I was so hurt by actions of others. I wouldn't even go to a grocery store for fear of seeing someone who hurt me from my past. I am here today a new person. I overcame my past, myself and determined to make a difference. I am here to tell you that YOU have every right to ask God largely and speak life words to yourself. We only have one life and we must make the best of it. Who are you? YOU are God's masterpiece ~
Ephesians 2:10 New Living Translation (NLT)
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
GOD CREATED YOU ~
Long before you were born, you were thought of by God. You are reading a blog of a person who went through some really hard times. Thinking I wasn't good enough or even deserved a second chance in life. People's words tore me down and my heart was broken. Cast aside by people and filling a tug on my heart by God. My daughter (Tracy) would tell me to put post it notes on the mirror and speak life to myself. People aren't God and it only hurts you when you don't move forward. Without going into the story of a season of life, I am choosing to focus on the power of words today. Words can heal, restore and lift us up. Again, we are only speaking of positive words today.
I received a message yesterday from a friend (Beverly) who reads my blog. I had not idea that she reads it. Her words were this, "I love your daily post that inspires me". Then she began to share a bit of her now. My eyes filled with tears and my heart hearing her words. Health issues that has taken away her freedom from going to church and reaching out to others. Yet, she reached out to me, which open the door to reach out to our church for prayer, plus connections. I am glad she reached out and I'm praying now for a miracle of health. Please join me in prayer for her to receive a miracle of health. Being sick can leave you weak and just tired. God knows just what we need to get to the next step.
POSITIVE CONNECTIONS IN LIFE ARE IMPORTANT ~
It is so important to see yourself the way God does and that is part of our greater connect in life. Being a masterpiece created by God is amazing. Each of us designed by his love to be different and yet the same. The same in following God's plan and living Jeremiah 29:11 A plan, A promise and A future.
Isaiah 43:10-11 New International Version (NIV)
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
SAY IT AGAIN ~
I AM LOVED
I AM IMPORTANT
AND I MATTER.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends. It's a new day with a new beginning. Believe big and keep those positive words flowing. One positive word can lead to another one. Purpose this a good day.
