You Are Not

It's been quite a week! So, I'm going to dig into my little bag of goodies to give you something for encouragement today. Laurie sent this to me earlier in the week. I thought it was pretty powerful and refreshing. You can read other posts from the author here.

You are not your past.
You are not your failures.
You are not your parents.
You are not your sister.
You are not your regrets.
You are not your sin.
You are not your weight.
You are not your divorce.
You are not your unemployment.
You are not the choices someone else made for you.
You are not your brokenness.
You are not your bitterness.
You are not your abuse.
You are not your loneliness.
You are not your marital status.
You are not your tax bracket.
You are not your crisis.

This is who YOU are:

You are loved.
You are forgiven.
You are redeemed.
You are destined.
You are a new creation.
You are valued.
You are gifted.
You are chosen.
You are prized.
You are reconciled.
You are called.
You are noticed.
You are pursued.
You are a child of The King.
You are a co-heir with Christ.
You are a royal priesthood.
You are adored, cherished, and treasured by the God of this universe.

When you choose to stop living out who you are not and you start to live in who you are...
It changes everything.
