Who I Am

Something that can be a battle for all of us from time to time is believing who God says I am, and not what others or even ourselves say about who we are. It's a trap that's easy to fall into. If God says something about me, then that's what I'm going to choose to believe. Sometimes we value too much what others say about us. We can believe what they say more than what  God says. If God has forgiven me of my past, why would others or even myself not do the same? If God says I'm His child and made in His image, why would I believe what others say if it contradicts what He says? Today I choose to listen to what He says about me and who I am. Today I'm going to live to please Him and not others. People can criticize me, put me down, judge me, slander me, talk about me behind my back and whatever else they want to do. Today it's not going to bother me because I'm more concerned about what He says and not what they say. I'm more focussed on what He says about what's ahead and not about what they say about what's behind. Today I choose to live for Him :) 2 Corinthians 5:17... Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! (AMP). Today will you choose to focus on what God says about you and not what others say about you?
