One thing the Lord has been teaching me about lately is my identity in Him. Crazy right? Some of you may be thinking, "Haven't you been walking with the Lord for a while now? Shouldn't you know who you are in Christ?" Interesting question. I can answer that basically by saying, yes, I do know what the Lord says about me in the Word; I know He has called me His child, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the apple of his eye, a friend, a co-heir ect. However, I believe there is an enormous difference between knowing what the Bible says about us and claiming that over our lives. Truly believing it and walking in it. I know people in my life who can quote scripture back and forth, but don't live out the life God has called us to according to the Word. I think this is basically the same thing.
In the last couple of weeks I have had a deep yearning to get into the Word. This has come straight through prayer. There are seasons that I go through where I feel as though I am just reading the Bible because I know I should, there are seasons where quite honestly it is difficult to even pick up the Bible, and there are seasons, where I find myself now, that all I want to do is read the Bible. During this time, truths of my identity and life have just screamed out to me. I have been claiming these truths over myself and it has been amazing to see and feel God's love through such powerful words.
I just want to encourage everyone to claim the truths of God's love story over your lives; to walk in them, with confidence and boldness. Let us all raise up and be the men, women, and children our God has called us to be.
Love Deeply
