Remember: What you do is determined by what you think of yourself.
These descriptions are the truth about you and should be what you think of yourself. You may have always believed lies because you were told by people you viewed as credible.
But God is the most credible source, and this list is what God says about you.
As you read through the list, some of it may be difficult for you to believe. They may be things you want to believe about yourself but can’t quite yet. It’s easier to keep believing the lies. But we want to — and through God’s power, we can — break free from the lies that have been holding us back and instead let God tattoo us with our true identity. It can happen for you. Ask God to help you!
You are the one Jesus loves.
I listen at night and first thing in the AM. I also read them out loud. Hope it helps you.
(Reminder, this is just a journal of my mistakes, experiences, and thoughts along with my journey to having a closer relationship with God. I do not claim to be an authority on the subject. If you want to know The Way, read The Bible.)
