– Scripture:
The Free YOU
But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. So whether you heard it from me or from those others, it’s all the same: We spoke God’s truth and you entrusted your lives.
1 Corinthians 15:10-11 MSG
Key Verse – But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am.
– Reflection:
Today, life will try to put impatience, jealousy, compromise, and bad breaks on you to keep the true you, the person God created you to be, from coming out. God is going to keep working on you, making and molding you until the true you comes out the free you, the blessed you, the patient you, the winning you. By His grace, God specializes in removing everything that’s not the true you.
Where do we go from here?
Now, you need to get in agreement with God and see the free you, not the defeated you, the depressed you, the hurt you. It’s easy to carry bad breaks, hurts, shame, and feel unworthy of being blessed. Don’t believe those lies. What people did to you didn’t stop the true you. The anger and bitterness are not the true you. The true you is peaceful, loving, and kind. The true you is about to come out. What’s holding you back is being broken. The shame is being removed. You’re about to step into favor, freedom, and restoration and become the masterpiece He says you are.
Our Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that my life is in Your hands not just my strengths and gifts, but my weaknesses and shortcomings. Thank You for removing everything that is not the true me. I declare that by Your grace, I am on the way to becoming the masterpiece. You say I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
