You belong to Me!

 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...Since you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you…Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?  Though she may forget, I will not forget you!…Know that the LORD, He is God!  It is He who made us, and we are His; we are people, and the sheep of His pasture…For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba!  Father!”

 Jeremiah 1:5; Isaiah 43:1-4; Isaiah 49:15; Psalm 100:3; Romans 8:15

and I mean it!  Cherishing you, Abba

I can just hear our God saying to me …

I did not take such special care in creating you to then abandon you.  No, you are Mine.  You are My special treasure and you are safely placed in My heart forever.  You may walk away from Me but never will I leave you.  No one owns you. No thing owns you.  I do not lie.  In the world you live, it may look and seem like you are enslaved by someone or some thing.  But this is a worldly illusion...a temporary mindset.  You get to choose who you believe - Me or the world.  You get to choose.

Your turn - Yes, my child more lists.  Why?  Because your lists make up the chains that bind you.  Take some time to on paper or in your mind list those persons or things you mistakenly believe bind you - own you.  Now in BOLD red, cover each item with the truth of who you belong to.  Choose whatever Name or Names tender your heart and build your confidence ... God, Abba, Savior, Jesus ... Now, daughter, keep that red marker handy and use it regularly to remind you who you belong to.

Sit still for some moments, relax and tenderly pray ...  

“The earth is the LORD’S, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is He, this King of glory?  The LORD Almighty— He is the King of glory.”

Psalm 24
