Good Morning Beauties!
Belief in your right standing with God, is vitally important to knowing your identity in Christ. It’s hard to grasp because Earthy standards are different from Heavenly ones. Do you find you must perform to get that desired promotion, acceptance from others, love? On Earth, if you prove your worthiness, you may earn the desired outcome for all your hard work. God’s ways are not our ways. “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord.” Isaiah 55:8 New International Version. The gifts of salvation, sanctification, forgiveness, and justification are not earned by any good works, but were freely given to you by God because He loves you. Selah.
Once we believe in our righteousness, our beautiful gift from God, we will desire to bestow the same mercy, grace and forgiveness upon others. The Holy Spirit will help us walk out our desire to love others as we are loved by God. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describes this perfect love, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” New International Version
Will you receive your gift of righteousness today? Will you also accept the responsibility of living a life of loving others as you have been loved? Selah.
