Believe It!

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7

Do you know that God loves you? You are a beautiful person- because God made you that way. God doesn't make anything that isn't beautiful. We are made in His Image, and that means that we are beautiful on both the outside and on the inside. Especially on the inside where God dwells.

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4

And as children of God, as His heirs and beloved, we can believe everything that He says about us. Every word in the Bible that talks about being loved is true. God loved us so much...

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

You make God happy. You make God smile, and you please him as His child. Yet sometimes... sometimes the devil comes along and tries to convince us otherwise. He tried to tell us that we're not worthy, that we're not good enough, and too many times, we believe that enemy. We ARE worthy, because HE made it that way. We ARE good enough, because God doesn't create anything that isn't good.

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." Genesis 1:31

God didn't just make everything good- he made it very good! And those days when the enemy comes calling and tries to tell us otherwise, we can rest in the knowledge that we are made in His image and are very good. We are very good in every way- in our spirit, in our body, and in our minds.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

God did not give us that fear that holds us back so many times. Fear is from the devil. We can take courage from His Word and take all those words in and make them a part of our being. Every time we read a verse in the Bible that tells us that we are loved, it builds our spirit up just a little bit more, chipping away at that block of fear that holds us back. And eventually, we'll chip away enough that that fear will be no more, and our spirits will emerge, full of the love of God, ready to share it with anyone and everyone.

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Romans 8:37

God loves us! He loves you! He loves me! He loves us so much that everything He has done since the beginning of creation has been done to create an opportunity to spend eternity with you. It's time to believe! It's time to stop listening to the lies the devil is telling us and realize that we are who we were meant to be, and God loves us just as we are. He loves you, just as you are.

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
