- You are NOT your past.
- You are NOT your failures.
- You are NOT what others say about you.
- You are NOT what you think about yourself.
You ARE a child of God, forgiven, redeemed, created for a purpose.
“For we are God’s masterpiece.”—Ephesians 2:10
“If you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him…Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”

Lord, my culture and my heart tell me that it is wholly due to my hard work that I am not poor. If I believe that lie, I will be ungenerous. I praise you that you are a God with a heart for the poor. Give me the same kind of heart. Amen.
“In every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.” Exodus 20:24 Do you long to see God’s blessing rest upon someone you love? Plead with him to cause his name to be remembered by them.
