WORD WEDNESDAY......

 

LABELS

 

Women, it seems,
are particularly at risk of being labelled.

 

The Stockton California incident that happen

this past December is one such instance.

 

"Stockton women outraged when
 waiter brings check calling them 'Fat Girls'"

2.A descriptive term; an epithet.

3. A distinctive name or trademark

 identifying a product or manufacturer.

1. To attach a label to
2. To identify or designate with a label;

describe or classify:

 

In today's world there are so many labels

given to women....

 

 

We are labeled by our size:

 

 

 

We are labeled by the way we look:

 

 

 

We are labeled by the way we dress: 

We are labeled by were we live:




We are labeled by what we drive:

 

It is so easy to get a warped self image!

       

    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.

But God's opinion is not based
on our thoughts and assumptions.

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."

2 Corinthians 6:17-18, NIV

 

 

"How great is the love

the Father has lavished on us,

 that we should be called children of God!

And that is what we are!"

 1 John 3:1, NIV

 
By the way.....
That makes you a PRINCESS!

No matter how old you are,

it's comforting to know that you are a child of God.

You belong to a loving,

 protective Father,
God, who is everywhere,

Keeps watch over you

and is always ready to listen

when you want to talk with him.

 

YOU ARE FORGIVEN:

 

You are forgiving and good,

O Lord, abounding in love

to all who call to you."

Psalm 86:5, NIV

 

 YOU HAVE A PURPOSE:

"For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the Lord,
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

 

 

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!
