2 Corinthians 5:17 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here!
THE WAY YOU VIEW ME ~
Have you ever wondered why people make negative comments about others? I find it so much better to say a kind word. I dislike bullies or people who make fun of others in a bad way. My life has become about kindness and treating others with respect. I make mistakes and say things I wish I didn't. Thinking before we speak sure helps.
Matthew 5:14-16 New International Version (NIV)
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Jeremiah 1:5 New International Version (NIV)
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
God views you as unique. He can only use our lives fully, if we allow him. It takes a surrender heart and a positive attitude change. God gave us free will in our lives. Our decisions make a huge difference on a daily bases. Our own choices not only affects us but others.
THE WAY YOU VIEW ME ~
I love the way God views me ~ forgiven and ready for his use.
1 John 4:4 (NIV)
Little children, you belong to God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
If we can just keep in mind, we are over-comers of things. God's power is real and still working on your behalf. See yourself the way God does. Life is too short to get stuck on things you can not change, but you can change the things you can. God has given you a positive attitude for a reason. The way God views me is important to me. I know that he has given me the ability to make my life better. He has given me a second chance in life and took away my sins. I need to view myself stronger and confident in him everyday. I hope you do too.
Be careful the words you take inside of you. Let your life become better and not bitter. Life is too short and your example matters. Maybe you are the only Jesus someone see's in their lives. The way we view each other is valuable and don't forget to pray for each other. Prayer works and it changes us inside, to allow the outside of us to shine. One day at a time, moment by moment and victory by victory. God wins and so do you.
THE WAY YOU VIEW ME ~
I heard that having a best friend is someone who brings out the best in you. Let God bring out the best in you and let your example is a good one. After all, you are important and unique.
My prayers are with you, your family and friends.
