"I"
needs to be lowercase before
BELIEVE
iBelieve
so
"I" is always kept in perspective with
seeking God first
His Wisdom
His Word
His Will
less of "me" and more of Him
"I"
is the
center of this
One Word
BELIEVE
but
cannot be
the center of who
and what you believe
especially when it
comes to
FAITH
yet
the
"I"
is essential in
both words
keeping
your eyes
(I's)
on
JESUS
which leads me to
what
"I"
stands for
taken
from our "B" word
BELIEF
one of the
KEY
core beliefs
of the
Christian
LIFE
IDENTITY
Who am I?
I believe I am significant
secure and accepted
because of
who
I am
in
Jesus Christ

Earlier years on my blog, I spent much time, sharing on IDENTITY ... but since I have drafted many of my former blog posts, they (and the links) will not open to what I shared (see my 'apology' note about this below my blog posts). I know my IDENTITY has suffered much until I took the time to BELIEVE the Truths found in God's Word of who I am and how God sees me because of Christ Jesus. Each INDIVIDUAL is unique, as made by God and meant to serve a unique purpose with their LIFE.
What iBelieve in God's Word and many other books I read are
INSPIRATION
to all
iBELIEVE
People also
INSPIRE
me
with how they live out
their walk, their faith
their beliefs so
this is what
I hope to
do
better

[I do not know what I would do without my IDENTITY in Christ; or how others without Jesus Christ, even go about life, day after day; but from what I've seen they are centered on self and achieving everything including their identity, at the expense of others and working through everything to gain or keep a false sense of identity, or a low sense of identity, or sometimes a very superior sense of self.]
"I" is for "Independence" when it comes to believing in one self only, but believing in God, or dependence on God, when we surrender our will to His, brings us into an Interdependence with God, working together with Him and His purpose, making us confident and able to believe in ourselves as well with true freedom, true independence, complete identity knowing we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (or wisdom, or ability, or whatever). From my observation, many people in current times are having identity crisis, and seem to be confused, which we know where confusion comes from - not God.
This post coincides perfectly with today's reading from our "Walk With God" devo...and points to one of my favorite portions of the Identity bell...our identity in Christ is that we are not our own, but bought and paid for with His precious blood..."For I am Yours and You are mine"...
ReplyDeleteI loved the final portion of the WWG devo:
" The Christian who lives with this wisdom - that we are owned by Another - is a Christian profoundly changed. Our decisions are affected, our character is reformed, . We lose the right to ourselves, but we also lose the burden of self-rule. It is a wonderfully freeing truth. Everything about us is the concern of Someone else.
Yes, you captured the connection with our ‘walk’ devo so well and I appreciate you sharing it here. Thank you for the reminder!
