"Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” (Luke 1:78-79)

It's the Truth!

I recently read an incredible book by Robert McGee called "The Search for Significance". In the book he takes us through our belief systems...Satan's lies versus God's truth. At the end of the book he reiterated four truths of God and encouraged us to put them on a "truth card". These are worth memorizing and repeating to yourself everyday!

1. I am deeply loved by God. "God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real love -- not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins." I John 4:9-10

2. I am completely forgiven and am fully pleasing to God. "Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done for us." Romans 5:1

3. I am totally accepted by God. "...He has reconciled you to Himself through the death of Christ in His physical body. As a result, He has brought you into His own presence and you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault." Col. 1:22

4. I am a new creation, complete in Christ. "...Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Cor. 5:17
