‘You are, because I am’

from a journal entry on May 28, 2024
Falling in love with this morning time. Finally woo! Good morning. Thank you Jesus for this morning, for today. What a beautiful landscape I get to overlook this morning. Calm waters, cool air, crisp line of trees overlapping each other ever so gently. Stillness. Birds chirping while I listen to you:
Isabella, Your stillness and presence opens your lens, opens access for you to admire my creation. Enjoy.
As I close my eyes, I receive His truth:
I am truth. I am good. You are good because I am good, and my goodness flows through you.
I am light. You are light because I am light, and my light radiates through you.
I am wise. You are wise because I am wise, and my wisdom flows through you.
I am powerful. You are powerful because my power eminates from you, my strength builds and lifts you up.
I am radiant. You are radiant because I am radiant, my Spirit filling you to pour out onto others.
I am righteous. You are righteous by and through my Spirit. God-righteousness over self-righteousness.
I am an artist. You are an artist because I am an artist, my creativity flourishing within you and pouring out onto the canvas.
I am endlessly forgiving. I call you to endless forgiveness, my daughter.
I am blameless. You are blameless and forgiven by my blood shed on the Cross.
I am loving. I love an agape love, far beyond your understanding. And I call you to love others like so.
I am victorious. You are eternally victorious because I hold the ultimate victory.
I am fearless. You are called to have nothing but the Fear of God.
My daughter, you are, because I am.”
Thank you, Jesus, for your promises, for the identity you have given me, the identity you have graced me with. The greater identity I have in you. Because of who you are.
