Recognizing Our True Identity
Susan FochlerMay 31, 2014
The World Doesn’t See us as we Really Are. Comparisons and Judgments are like “Fun House” mirrors that skew our true image.
The World’s System Teaches Us to Compare and Judge ourselves to
Determine Worth
For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 2 Cor 10:12 NKJV
Living our Lives Comparing and Judging creates a Soul that is a Dry and Weary Land that has No Water
God Sees Each of Us as We Really Are with Perfect Clarity
Jer 29:11: I know the thoughts that I have toward
you, thougths of peace and not of evil, to give you a
future and a hope. NKJV
I have plans for you, established way before you ever came into existence, that will result in a harmonious state of your soul involving the full development of your faculties
and powers. Jer 29:11
You were Created to Find Fulfillment
Only God sees the Fullness of who You Really are!
✦ You are a fountain in a garden, a well of living waters; and flowing streams from Lebanon. S of S 4:15
You ARE Enough, Just Being You!
✦ Is. 35: Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. And the burning sand and the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water...
You are NOT a dry and weary land, but a Holy Habitation!
And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass✦ over it, but it shall be for the
redeemed; And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Is. 35:6-7, 8,10.
We have Intrinsic Value because we are Chosen by God to be His
He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Eph 1:4-5
