God's Words for us

Yesterday I talked about God's words for us. Today I want to talk about what those words are. These are just a few of the things God speaks over us. Take time to go through them. Look at the verses and their context. Let the words sink in. 

You are my precious child (Isa 43:3-5). 

You are always on my mind. "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me" (Psalm 139:17 - 139:18 NLT)

I am jealous for you. I want all of you. I don't want to share you with anything else (Ex 34:14, 1 Co 10:14-22). 

I want you. I have chosen you and not rejected you (Isa 41:9-10). 

You have a place on this earth (Isa 45:18). 

You have purpose and the ability to fulfill it (1 Co 1:4-9, 2 Pe 1:3-4). "The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable" (Ro 11:29). 

Nothing can separate you from my love (Ro 8:31-39). *Sin can affect our fellowship with God but as a true believer, sin cannot affect our standing with God. Once a child, always a child. God will always forgive us our sin when we ask (1 Jn 1:9; Isa 43:24-25, 57:18; Jer 33:8; Lk 11:4). 

You are my witnesses (Isa 43:10). A witness is someone who saw and experienced something. This means that as witnesses of God we get to experience and see God's goodness, His faithfulness, His love and all that He is. 

Ask God how He sees you. What does He love about you? Is He proud of you? It is okay to ask Him why too. Write down what He says. 

Tomorrow we'll talk about the effect of God's words.
