Maybe you've developed a poor self-image
through unpleasant experiences
and misguided teachings.

These wrong ideas you have about yourself
can end up reflecting in how you think
God sees you.

Do you see yourself how God sees you?
HOW DOES GOD SEE US?
You are a child of the King Most High!
'I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,'
says the Lord Almighty."

By the way.....
That makes you a PRINCESS!
We are all encouraged by a "leader"
who stirs us to move ahead.
Someone who believes we can do the task
he has given us
and who will be with us all the way.
God is that kind of Leader!
YOU ARE A LIGHT!
"You are the light of the World.
A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
....In the same way,
Let your light shine among men,
that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in heaven.
Matt. 5:14-16
Can you hide a city that is
sitting on top of a hill?
Its light at night can be seen for miles.
If we live for Christ,
we will glow like lights,
showing others what Christ is like!
Do you see yourself as God sees you?
If you are His.......
May this be a reminder of who are you in Him!
If you are not,
May this be a reminder of who you can be!
BLESSINGS!
