I get it! There are times we may feel discouraged, distracted and even forgotten. In-spite of knowing God’s love and care for us, we still seem to be knocked about at times by the attacks of the enemy.
Satan has a worldly connection with us that he takes advantage of as often as possible. He is the god of this world and because we reside here his influences challenge our minds.
BUT WAIT!
Lest I forget, I have been bought unto God with the astonishing price of God’s only begotten son. I do not belong to the adversary, but fully and wholly to the Heavenly Father.
I Corinthians 6:19 & 20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
BUT WAIT!
Lest I forget, I am a child of God, heir of God and co-heir with Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
BUT WAIT!
Lest I forget, my citizenship is in heaven and I am just waiting for the return of Christ to gather me and transform me like His glorious body.
Philippians 3:20 & 21 (ESV) But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
WHAT A CONNECTION / ONCE WAS, NOW AM!
Lest I forget, I was once dead and without God in my life, but now He has raised me up to sit next to Him.
Ephesians 2:4-6 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
WHAT A CONNECTION / NOW AM!
Lest I forget, I am now complete in Christ, who is the head of all.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF…
God in all His love and greatness opened the door for us to be born into His eternal family all because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I Peter 1:3 (Amplified) Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
God’s word is unmatched in what it says, and what God has done and will do for His awesome children who make the connection with Him.
