YOU ARE SOMEBODY

Ephesians 2:9-10 NLT Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

I have a sticker on my mirror and it says. “Look who Jesus loves.” I’m reminded that no matter how we feel about ourselves we know Jesus loves us. We need to have the right spectacles on and see ourselves the way God does!😊

Some people have been brought low by bad experiences or negative words spoken over them that have made them see themselves wrongly. Maybe you struggle with low self esteem, with the thought that says you are ‘less than’ in some way, that you always make mistakes or you can never change?

God, however, tells us we are loved, chosen and called by Him, that He sent Jesus to die for us so we could be like Him. When we accepted Jesus as our Saviour He tells us He has anointed us and that we have a destiny in Jesus to be and do all He has put us on earth to do. 

He has made us somebody because of the price Jesus paid for us. We’re not bragging on us, we’re honouring Jesus and what He did for us.😊

God reminds us that we are His very own child, created in the image of God Himself, and when we go into a room He wants us to remember who we are in Jesus - His ambassadors!

We’re not just a nobody, not just a businessman, or a teacher or a carer or a housewife, not just an older person, not just anything. We are who God says we are - His masterpiece, clothed in His righteousness, washed clean from our past failures and mistakes. He tells us that we are a success going somewhere to succeed because Jesus is living in us.😊

Are we getting the picture? If we struggle, thinking we are less than in any sense of the word, God wants to remind us we are  His special treasure, we are overcomers, more than conquerors when we speak out what God says about us. We are victors not victims. We matter to God because we belong to Him.

So wherever you go, and whatever you do, whoever you are with, remember who you are, because Jesus has made you to be somebody, a child of the Most High God, led by His Holy Spirit. Remember God chose you because He loves you and His Spirit is transforming you every day to be more like Jesus.  Thank You Lord. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x 😊
