Who We Truly Are

 


We Automatically, effortlessly become who we picture ourselves to be. To change, adopt an internal mental picture of who you want to be and you will automatically be drawn and go there.  We are who we are because that's what we truly, deeply believe about ourselves.  Don't try to force a behavior from yourself. Truly believe that God loves you and then just relish that feeling, share it with others. No longer participate in an image that someone else, maybe a parent, has projected on you. Form your own image of who you want to be and then allow yourself to go there and enjoy being that person. Stop struggling against an image of what we don't want to be, given to us by someone else.  We have the ability to let our natural love shine through. We can then understand that God truly loves us.  Believe that.

Stop listening to other people's ideas of you.  Form your own and you will naturally live that out.    Listen to God in the process and allow yourself to truly, deeply believe that God loves you. Don't let anyone else tell you who you are, listen to God.  See yourself tucked under His wing.  Visualize, allow yourself, to be under the power of the Holy Spirit.  Only Believers have the Holy Spirit indwelling them.  When instant anger takes over, mentally release the image that goes along with it and picture yourself under God's wing.  That's much, much stronger than your anger.  Allow yourself to be the image that God has for you, how God sees you. Embrace that image.  Don't let anyone else tell you who you are, who you should be. 

A particular behavior: If it's something that Jesus wouldn't do, don't weave it into your self image.

Blackabys tell us that God made us for a relationship with Him. That’s best done in the context He has in mind.

Salvation Statement

  Truly Believe 10.2024           “Why are we here?”   God made us for a relationship with Himself, a relationship meant to carry us into eternity. Romans 3:23 tells us ”All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”   This creates a problem.      Our sins separate us from God so there needs to be a way to forgive our sins and wipe our slate clean. Ephesians 2: 8&9 “By grace we are saved through faith (in Christ’s death on the cross to pay for our sins), and not of ourselves.   It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”   John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” In the Bible, “Believe” means to “place your confidence in, rely on, and believe with your heart.”   Remember, satan believes in Jesus but has chosen not to accept Jesus’ gift of ...

God's Intended Life for Me

Slowly, consistently, gently, work toward producing a setting which can sustain the life that God intended for me.  Allow His true meaning (physical and emotional) for my life to thrive. Let Prayer and Gratitude survive.  Make them a centerpiece. Stop constantly and consciously surrounding myself with negative memories of my past.  Let God’s intended life for me take hold and grow. Positive , loving , God-Centered Peacefulness and Gentleness .  Let go of all the negative situations I surround myself with. Shun human standards. Meditate and pray, making choices about my actions beforehand to lessen the harshness of my autism. Look to other Christian women as examples. Always be aware of being under His gentle, loving wing. He is our Father and He truly loves us. Never forget, He made us for the purpose of having a relationship with Him.
