You're not that person anymore

“You are not the person you used to be. You have conquered all thus far, by the might of My strength, and I will continue to sustain you. I have called you out of the darkest place and brought you safe into my loving arms, returned to home once again. Cast away the old! Take on the new garment I have laid before you. I reach for you with My nail-scarred hands. I conquered the grave so that you may lay aside the pain of this world and take root in my love. You are Mine, and I will never let you go. The world around you may feel like rejection, fury, danger, unstable, and ever-changing; though fix your eyes on Me because I am never shaken. In Me, you will find forever security. I bent down and scooped you up off of the filth you once lied in. I have cleansed you and given you My righteousness to wear. Take rest in this, for it is freely given to you. I’ve loved you when you have least felt worthy to be loved. Forget the old, for I have also. I have no recollection of the past, I only see the future I have in store for you. Enlarge your tent, daughter, for I am about to give you surplus. Prepare. Open your vessels and hold out your hands. What you have lacked I am going to provide. You, My sons and daughters, are My pride and joy, and it gives Me great satisfaction to give my child's desires according to My will. Wait expectantly for Me to work in your life. What others have said was impossible will see your Father is a God of possibilities. It is time to move forward. Walk with Me, hold My hand. Together we will walk through your journey, and I will never leave you. I know the road ahead. I know every bend, bump, and curve, and I see beyond what you can. With Me as your guide, you will not fail. I am with you always. Says the Spirit of the Lord.”

Prayer: Father God, thank you for saving me from the pits of my own destruction. I was lost, but You have found me. Give me the strength that I need, and help me to forgive myself as you have already done. You are my Mighty Savior, and my Lord, and I trust you to lead me. I give you all the praise, the honor, and the glory that You so deserve my Lord. In Your name, Amen.

I will forgive their sins and no longer remember their wrongs. Hebrews 8:12

But do not dwell on the past, or remember the things of old. Look, I am doing a new thing: now it springs forth. Do you not see? I am opening up a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19

I it is, I am He who blots out your offenses for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more. Isaiah 43:25

God makes us Holy by means of Faith in Jesus Christ, and this is applied to all who believe, without distinction of persons. Romans 3:22

He had no sin, But God made Him bear our sin, so that in Him we might share the Holiness of God. 

2 Corinthians 5:21

Daughter of the king

It takes Courage

It takes courage

to tell the truth

to follow your heart

to do something alone

to make yourself vulnerable

to leave a longtime love

to trust again

to speak up

to wait on God’s best

to start something new

to admit your own ignorance

to believe things will change

to give expecting nothing in return

to be yourself

Often we find God saying throughout Scripture, “Be strong and courageous.” “Take heart.” “Take courage.” While negative situations come to deflate and discourage us, God gives us the necessary ingredient to face life’s challenges head on—courage.

Let God give you the courage you need in order to do what you never thought you could do. Let Him give you the courage to succeed past your limitations, to face tomorrow, to enjoy life today, to face your fears, to change your world, to face your inner critic, and to embrace the truth of who you are in Him.

Prayer: Thank You Father. Help me be courageous. You are my strength and my confidence. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me do what I have been so afraid to do. I know You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. Help me understand what that means for me. In Jesus Name Amen.
