How do you see yourself? Take a good long look in the mirror, then continue reading…
Recently listened to a great Graham Cooke teaching for the third or fourth time, and at one point he just starts reading a list of characteristics that the Bible itself has assigned to those who are in Christ. By the end of the list, the audience was cheering, and just keep on whooping it up for a few minutes.
When the Holy Spirit finally gets through to us the reality of the way God really sees us, it ought to change us forever.
Just meditate on this list for a while and see if it doesn’t encourage you:
