I knew you, I know you

I knew you, I know you

My previous post “significant”  was written in remembrance of friend of mine who died too young. In our teens she was strong, we started working and she achieved. She helped her parents and siblings, then she met this guy and allowed him to control and manipulate her. That post was written as a way to process the anger I still feel some times when I remember her.

One of my struggles about writing is that I wonder if what I felt laid in my heart got across, then did anyone benefit. As I was publishing “significant” I sensed the Father saying never to be afraid of proclaiming who we are because of Him, to never apologise or be apologetic because of the choices we have made in His name and for Him.

The English dictionary I use defines significant as “a measure of confidence that can be placed, that the results are not merely a matter of chance”. We are the Father's creation, His result. We, our dreams, talents, passions, etc etc are no surprise to Him and He wants all that we are for His glory. We are His workmanship, His masterpiece don't be afraid, ashamed, or apologetic love and serve your Father with all you are,and in every way available to you.

Listen to what the Father says about you.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.

I have searched you and know you.

I know and are aware of all your ways.

I have placed my hand on you.

Hi there.

This weekend I was reminded of one of my friends who lost the sense of who she is. She allowed her husband and people to abuse her and control her. We live in a global world of technology a time where information is equated to popular opinion. Being bombarded like this can be overwhelming and take away your confidence and identity.

Popular opinion cannot define you, I would like to share with you a few verses, to remind ourselves who we truly are. The opinion that should matter is our Father's. My friend forgot who she is and it can happen to any of us.

We are the beloved of the Lord, our Father calls us beloved  over a 100 times in His Word, I think that's significant. He has only one standard His Word. His standard never changes nor can it be swayed by anything or anyone. Beloved Forgiven Redeemed Precious Valued etc etc.

Scriptures:

Do you not know you are the sanctuary (the temple) of the living God?

Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human traditions, based on the elemental forces of the world, not based on Christ. For in Christ the entire fullness of the Father's nature dwells, and you have been filled by Him.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim His praises.

This changes who and what you will allow to abuse your body and mind. Let the Father whose entire fullness through Christ dwells define you and your dreams.
