Lat night we finished up a 6 week study on how our relationship with God can go from duty to delight, but along the way, I learned alot more. Most importantly, that God doesn’t see me as a face in the crowd, He sees my face, not the crowd! Below are “our rights” as Believers in Christ, but even though they are meant for all of “us”, I like reading them as if they are meant specifically for me…because they are!
As God has commanded, These are My Rights!
I have the right to live in the delight of God’s choosing of me.
no more guilt, shame and condemnation
I have the right to live in the delight of God’s redemption of me.
no more spiritual perfectionism, only rich acceptance and satisfaction
I have the right to live in the delight of God’s promise of His Spirit.
no more broken promises and self-determination
I have the right to live in the delight of God’s supply of His Spirit.
no more powerlessness and sinful harvests.
I have the right to live in the delight of God’s command of love.
no more dread of having to love God and others.
I have the right to live int he delight of God’s provision of victory.
no more wishing for the victory Jesus has provided
From being chosen to empowered,
I now have the right to stand up and enjoy My God.
