I am a chosen woman, a royal priest, a holy daughter, a woman belonging to God, that I may declare the praises of him who called me out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Reflections:
Are there times when you feel rejected or forgotten? Tell God today about the gaps you feel in your heart. Ask Him to heal the broken places that leave you feeling unwanted and show you how He sees you -- holy and dearly loved -- chosen and belonging to Him!
Isaiah 43:1b, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." (NIV)
God HAS chosen ME!!! I am His and He is mine! Sometimes there are things around me that make me so downhearted and discouraged. Last night, (NOT the carroling!) was one of those times. It was one of those situations that seems to be endless, and so hard to deal with. My flesh wants to react so badly. I could literally feel God saying "NO" to me. "Not now". For those of you who know me well, it's not like me to hold my tongue and not speak my mind, especially in anger and frustration. I think I"ve grown a lot. Ok, at least sometimes. The verses above really hit the spot this morning (isn't that how our God works?) I am a woman belonging to God. I need to hold myself upright, before Him, and act like it. With God's grace, I can do it.
