Oh, how we suffer and struggle under the lies and misconceptions we struggle with in our hearts! (I can almost see your beautiful heads nodding in agreement.) We must find a way to “be realistic in the way we view and accept ourselves” (page 40). As we continue along in CHRISTLife: Embracing Your True and Deepest Identity, Mrs. Myers lovingly and faithfully keeps bringing us back to the Truth of who we are in Christ. Or, as we like to phrase it, ‘I AM who God says I am!’ There is a children’s song, originally sung by the Gaither Family back in the day 😉 that could be our new anthem. As you listen along, hopefully you will be renewed in your mind to sing along believing that you ARE a Promise (with a capital P)!
I am a promise with a capital “P”
I am a great big bundle of potentiality
And I am learnin’ to hear God’s voice
And I am tryin’ to make the right choice
I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be

Kim shares another page with us from her ‘Inner Identity Album’ along with her encouragement for us today:
“I love this page because it serves as a reminder that even though there may be times in our walk with God that it doesn’t seem like He is working, or perhaps we are walking through circumstances and they are screaming loudly—these are the Truth’s that we can hang on to!
He loves you
He has good plans for you
He is working for your good
He hears you
You are His
He will never leave you or ever forsake you
HE IS FAITHFUL in ALL Things!!!
These reminders could not have come at a better time for me…God’s timing is always perfect!”

So, sisters, Kim and I pray for you (and ourselves!) that
- you will keep on listening to hear God’s voice (He has MUCH to tell you!)
- keep on trying He’ll help you make the right choice (He never leaves nor forsakes you!)
- ‘cause you’re a Promise to be anything He wants you to be (Jeremiah 29:11-14).

Coleen and Kim, thank you for the song and the page! I used to sing that song with our girls many years ago. What a great message today–I am a promise!. I appreciated this statement from Mrs. Myers, “He (God) sees the ‘whole package’—negative as well as positive—and yet accepts us unreservedly if we belong to Christ.”
you ARE, clella! how thankful He accepts us!!! <3
Yes you are sweet clella and a possibility 🙂
Praying We all will grasp how wide and how deep the Father’s love is for us and that We ARE a Possibility 🙂
thank you, kim, for your prayers…so needful ’cause we DO falter in our clinging to the Truth of His love. <3
Oh How He loves us 🙂
