This afternoon i was doing some soul seaching, some spirit searching ... needing a rhema Word from God about who i am, more details on the real ME. Sometimes knowing something in your head isn't enough; the spoken, alive Word is really needed. And i believe God knows that, He knows that my humanity longs for communication with Him - after all, that's why He created His kids.

So this afternoon, I met God on our two-way street and did some communicating back to Him - because that's also why He shared His breath on the sixth day of creation. As He revealed a Scripture to me, I began pouring out my heart to Him, asking for a fresh washing, a new outpouring of His Spirit. He's so faithful, so loving, kind, generous and merciful. Here's the Scripture - I love it:

"But whoever did want Him, who believed He was who He claimed and would do what He said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves. These are the God-begotten." (John 1:12-13, Message)

So no matter what I feel that I fail to do in a day, no matter how low i let my attitude slip, no matter whatever .... if i confess it and bring it to Lord, He forgives. I am His. I am God-begotten. And He has already made me to be my true self which is a child-of-God self. Not a failure, but a person of faith who has tugged securely over her mind the helmet of salvation and strapped tightly over her heart the breastplate of righteousness.

All because of Jesus.
