My Identity In Christ

[boblandis]

Galatians 2:20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. "

Live in Christ and Christ in you.

Galatians 2:20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. "

Live in Christ and Christ in you.

Another great verse to meditate on and live by.

Thank you Lord, for giving me worth and letting me see I have purpose.

Thanks for posting this cjrose,

Sometimes the perceptions we have of ourselves does not always line up to what God says about us and I fall so short of this that it makes me so ashamed but I guess we all got our own battles in this area. But thanks for posting this as I needed to hear this more than you know and one day I am going to get it really get it and people ain't even gonna recognize me anymore.

loving blessings

I was inspired to post this and give the glory to the Lord. You are welcome and it seems that it was a necessary post for some. And OC we all fall short, you are not alone and no reason to feel shame. Remember, tomorrow is a new day with a basket full of more mercies forgive yourself and then Jesus can forgive you dear sis.

Thank you cjrose, I see God working in you to speak to many of His great love and that we do have a purpose even when we think we don't.

Great post

Take Care,

(((((((((shazza))))))))))))) My dear sister, you have been so patient with me for my oh so long lack of reply in our pen palship and I thank you. I keep you in my thoughts daily as well, girlfrien' and I thank you for your humble response.

When I think about it, meditate on it, it is so far out of my dimension that we have truly been chosen before we came into this world that I am constantly thankful and grateful to such a loving compassionate God when we don't deserve His most gracious gifts. This list is a reminder of just how far beyond our comprehension is of His most powerful love. And to think that He waited so long for me to finally realize all that I have been protected from, the experiences I have gone through, the struggles and the tragic times of adversity, He was there always with me seeing me through, making sure I would get to this point where I am accepting and listening intently and hearing and seeing His messages as He speaks to me through His Spirit He has so mercifully filled me with.

I hurt for my brothers and sisters who are still struggling in their life and they don't have to allow it to be so hard if they put God first. Let Him take care of us as He has all my life. Don't get me wrong, I am not being judgemental. I am just bursting to share with all of you, who I love dearly that living in the Spirit and fully trusting will rise your faith to new heights and see you through the rough times.

"my room" we call the bonus room, I have taken over lol and I have all my bibles and books of encouragement and I am praying that I can encourage those who are lost and hurting. And I know you know exactly what I mean. My soul sis being humble and grateful and constantly repenting and praising our Father will take us out of self and to higher ground. So much has been revealed to me that I can hardly keep up! LoL It's l just haven't been willing to listen until this time of my life. He knows when we are ready. And let's us know when He knows too! He is not only so loving and forgiving, but I think He has a sense of humor sometimes too.

Trust. Perfect Trust is something we must strive for. Because this world is so temporary. My Spirit, my soul soars above all that used to seem meaninful like attachments to others, to possesions, not fully trusting that He WILL provide for His children. I feel I still have adversity ahead but He will give me the strength and never gives us more than we can bear. That is comforting.

When I think of the shameful willingly sinful things I've done, I don't feel shame anymore because it is our experiences He allows us to go through to teach us and work through us, knowing we all have a purpose because He doesn't make mistakes, no accidents, no coincedences. His Grand Desing is flawless and so shall we be whe our King Returns.

Praise The Lord for He is sooooooooooo GREAT!!!

And to all of you who have responded with sincerety and seem truly blessed that the Holy Spirit wrote this for all of us, I am so pleased and grateful that you have found the message and are reminded of how incredibly divinely is His plan for all of us who are like minded in our belief, our faith.

Blessings to all of you. I truly love you as Christ's sisters and are there any brothers out there who find this, His Word in this particular way, a blessing? Would love to hear from you too. I am rambling again but it's cuz I am bursting with joy for all of us who will spend eternity with our Creator, I will bow and kneel and worship for His Glory because He is so awesome!!!

M'kay, that's enough for now. I think you all feel it too. Love to you and many blessings.

Yes, I copied this also. Thanks CJ! Awesome!

Spreading the Love of Christ through His Words

And to dear Tomi, MrsSealedEternal (love that very creative username btw)to boblandis, shiloh357 ( getting to you dearest Anita )

You have all given me a great gift by being inspired by these words I have posted who I give all the glory to our Father but it really touches my heart that I can do something encouraging even to just one, but all of you are so dear to me in Christ I can't express it.

And Jade Bless You, you are such a support to me, you have no idea you being here as it seems always to respond to my venting as sometimes I must do Thank you and I love you in the Spirit of Christ as I do all my family here at Worthy.

I think this has done more for me than for all of you It brings me joy to help God inspire His children and gives me grief when I see hurting and pain.

Y'all should see my room, full of books open all over the table and couch and floor LOL. Trying to find encouragement to give in the Lords name to comfort in some way.

You know there is still worldly adversity in my life. But for the first time, I rejoice in it and have joy.

BE Joyful in the Lord rejoice, tomorrow is a brand new day of forgivness and cleanliness in His mery. Oh dear, here I go again.. Anita are you ready?

[cjrose]

Tiro and Candi, I can see and feel the Spirit so strongly in you and you are such a blessing to me. I am so grateful to be a part of this fellowship with you, it brings me such joy to read your posts and see your love in our Father. Bless you, Bless you. My love to you in Christ Jesus. I pray you feel the peace and joy and Trust without a doubt as I just know you do that you will overcome your struggles as you live in this evil world. Keep the faith!!

Thank you Lord, for giving me worth and letting me see I have purpose.

this is great, cj...wish I could live up to it....

Anita

((((((((((((Anita))))))))))))))

You do live up to it every day you live. I know you have the faith and trust in our Savior, be kind to yourself and know that you also are not alone. Jesus felt all the emotions we feel. Joy, Peace, Grief, Sorrow, Forsaken, and He had faith knowing He was about to be arrested, tortured, ridiculed, betrayed, made to carry His cross He was about to be nailed to for you and me who are chosen ones as children of God and the brides of the love of our life in our groom Jesus. Don't give up, I feel your strength even if you don't and know He is there to craddle you in your feelings of failure. Believe it, you are doing His work in your depression for a higher purpose. When I think of how destructive I was because I cared so little of life that suicide was an option, He brought me through it all. He saved me in more ways than one. This may sound silly but be joyful in your fear, your feelings of falling short, your depression. He is with you, and you will know one day, why you are going through what you are going through.

Also, I struggle with depression as many of us do and I need to take medication to balance the nuerolical imbalances that I inhereited from a very ill mother. It is part of my body, I am not ashamed that I take it. God helps those who help themselves. Which means for me that all my life I have struggled with it and finally sought help and experimented with many medications until I got it right. They do help when you find the right one. And it pleases God that we take care enough to seek medical attention because Jesus isn't here in the flesh to touch us or with but a word or command and we are healed. He does not let it get as bad as it could be, dear sis. You are not alone. We all love you and are here to support you as other sisters are going through troubled times too.

Please be good to yourself and know you have been chosen for His purpose. The more faith you build the more the Holy Spirit will lift you up to that higher ground I mentioned.

Trust, love, and know He keeps His promises. We are all here for you. If you need me, PM or email and you are safe with me. Cuz I love YOU.

I will tell you, and I don't know if this makes you feel any better, but I still willfully sin but I am trying to let go of that old me and be obedient from moment to moment. Its not an easy path but we have Him who is in us and He is greater than he who is in the world.
