The Daniel Fast Day 17 Devotional 10/9/13

Let Me Introduce You to You!

"But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." 1 Corinthians 6:17
 
I know you may not fully understand this, but you are a full-fledged "blood sibling" with Jesus Christ. You are one with Him . . . you belong to Him . . . He is in you!

Please don't just pass over those words quickly and move on. That's what we have done for most of our lives. We've heard words, but we haven't embraced them and really taken hold of the truth about who we are in Christ. Instead, we hold on to the old unworthy identity that we give ourselves and the enemy laughs as we help him with his work.

You are holy! God loved you before you even knew your name! He loved you before you did anything right or anything wrong. Do you know that, "God so loved (your name) that He gave His only begotten Son...?" Do you know that Jesus is your High Priest and He personally takes your requests to the Father and speaks on your behalf?

Do you know that God forgives all your iniquities,
He heals all your diseases,
He redeems your life from destruction,
He crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
He satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.


Your Father wants you to know who you are. You are His child. He loves you with His unlimited and most precious love. And He wants you to receive all He has for you. But first you must KNOW who you are.
 
God loves (your name). You are His lovely and adored child. He cherishes you and longs to see you, talk with you, and hold you in the palm of His hand.

Take a few minutes and let the love of God pour out to you. He wants you to know His love for you. He wants you to know His grace and mercy and loving kindness.

Receive it . . . it's yours. But you need to take it.

Be blessed.
