“Become who you already are…”

The other day, a friend of mine challenged me to become who I already am.

That instead of wallowing around in the mud of my despair and unbelief, I should rise up! And learn to be the woman that I already am–to be the “real me.”

(In Christ, I AM a new creation.
By God’s grace, I AM a godly wife and mother.
I am loved. Wanted. Cherished. FORGIVEN.
But oh! It is so easy to forget these truths.)

I am so easily tempted to hide away.
Life can feel so incredibly overwhelming!
The world is a big scary place–the future is uncertain — life is very, very hard.

But God is good!

Ahhhh — yes — herein lies my Hope. Peace. Joy.
(And my confidence?? Putting two question marks after it is indicative of a problem, eh?)

Here is my confidence!
God is God.
 He is great!
He is good!
And solely by His grace–I am His.

Oh that I would become who I already am.
Oh that we would all do so!
What would our marriages look like?
Our homes?
Our churches?

May God be glorified!

G’nite, friends —
Love,
