True Identity
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt
I think we all have days where we don’t feel beautiful and amazing. I know I have felt that way this week. I have been overwhelmed and exhausted. Waking up through the night taking care of my one year old, and having a schedule that has left little time to refresh and renew myself. The last few days it was such an accomplishment just to shower, brush my teeth and eat dinner once i got home from work.
I woke up this morning feeling so refreshed and was reminded by God that I am royalty and I am a princess. First I was putting on my lip gloss and glanced down at the name of it “royalty.” Then I was walking out the door and looked down at one of my keys my husband bought me a while back that’s labeled “princess”. I love how God slows me down and speaks to me through small moments. I love that I didn’t have to earn these titles, but it is who I am because I have relationship with God through Jesus.
I am thankful that I was able to slow down and listen to voice of God speaking to me through these two little objects this morning and I once again feel amazing and the insecurities and negative thoughts just wash right off of me.
God is speaking to us every day, we just need to take the time to hear what he has to say. You are valuable and made in Gods image, the image of a king. God is waiting for you to ask Him into to your day so he can romance you and write you a love letter.
Here is my prayer for this week:
“Father God thank you for knowing my inner thoughts. Thank you for making me who I am. Thank you for the grace I have been given to overcome my lack of rest and insecurities. Please forgive me for not taking the time to rest and renew my mind, body and spirit this week. Please refill and refresh me. I pray I am open and receptive to your love and voice this week. I am thankful that your thoughts of me are greater than the grains of sand on the earth. “
“I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! [Ps. 40:5.] If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would still be with You.”
