I AM!
The two words “I AM” can either speak life or death to your spirit. Most assume that it is with great ease that you can look into a mirror see your reflection and speak to yourself with conviction in the positive.
If you have a great sense of self-confidence it maybe easier for you then it would be for someone that maybe struggling (we can’t compare reasons) to speak power into their lives. It’s always so much easier, when we can look into someone’s life and tell them that they will be successful, tell them that they will make it, to tell them that it shall be well. However when it comes to us telling those exact words to ourselves, the words may not flow as easily I may not seem as effective. What we need to understand is that we ourselves can be harder towards ourselves that our greatest perceived enemy. Wow, that was a mouthful but the good thing is, it’s also encouragement to those, that will receive it while knowing that when we look at ourselves in the mirror and the reflection if how we see ourself is looking right back at us. It’s staring us back in our face. God also is looking at us desiring us to see what he sees. Wow, we have the power through our Creator which allows us to stand and receive the positive and self love that we are attempting to gift ourselves. Many times we are harder on ourselves because, well, in reality we truly know wayyyyy-deep-down in that small yet powerful beating organ called our heart has already told us, directed us and moves us with each rhythmatic beat that we have purpose. Even if we may not yet know what that purpose is! Our heart knows sometimes what our brain doesn’t know… yes that sounds like an oxymoron a.k.a. backwards because the brain instructs every organ what and how to function. However there’s something a little bit different about our heart. It communicates what are brain refuses to transmit.❤
Our heart comes from God, contained within our heart is the DNA of God. Which tells me that if we have the DNA of God we are created to be successful, victorious and we are created to win.
KINDNESS TO SELF IS A GIFT
This is exactly why it is important that we give ourselves grace. The truth of the matter is, God loves us regardless of our mess ups, our mistakes, our bad choices and in spite of our sin he loves us because we are his. We cannot get this confused with God hating the sin. God hates sin because he sees what it does to our lives. God hates sin because he sees how it destroys us. God has shown us into very specific ways (while sometimes we can’t yet see it)that he loves us enough to die for. The first way in which he has shown us is that brought us fourth to the earth… however the greatest way is… he sent his son to come here where we are and die for our sins. Jesus came to pay the penalty for sins he did not commit as he stood in proxy to receive the punishment that we ourselves because of sin should have received. I share this to encourage you to know that because we are greatly loved by God he wants the best for us in every way. This is why our heart beats to the rhythm of his heart. This is why he gives us purpose. This is why he gives us ideas. When we don’t feel strong enough to put into effect our ideas, he continues to allow it to rise up in our hearts and our souls over and over and over again. I know for me, there were many things I did not think I was capable of doing although I have the ability to do it and I would always put it on the “back burner”. However although on the back burner on simmer, every now and then God will turn up the heat of that dream, that goal, that purpose will boil over with fiery possibility.
So, take the opportunity to look regularly and often at beautiful you in the mirror and say to yourself, I AM all that God says I am, to say I am promise and possibility with a capital P! One of my favorite gospel singers Jekalyn Carr says “everything that Satan tells me I am I tell him I am not and everything Satan tells me I cannot do I tell him I can.”
Like myself I know many have gone through what I’ve experienced and even much much more. The key thing to remember is that before the beginning of time God predestined you to be exactly where you are. He knew that the things that you may be experiencing now that may make it difficult for you to look into the mirror greeting your beautiful reflection and say the wonderful and great things to yourself that you deserve. All that we shall experience is of no surprise to God. Our experience allows us to grow forward into how God already sees us. When God looks at us he does not look at what’s wrong with us he looks at us and our victory, he looks at us through the filtered blood of Jesus Christ which allows him to see that which he has called fourth!
YOU HAVE CHEERLEADERS
We here at Mommy girl media stand with you, praying with and for you, while holding your hand cheering you on to allow the heartbeat of your dreams to cast down the accusations of Satan and all of those that are committed to not celebrating the wonderful that you are. God knows what we need, he knows who we need. We do not need a million people to like us what we do need is God’s grace love and power to gift us the courage to love ourselves. To
acknowledge our imperfections/our stumbles while handing them off to God…while we move forward from developing in a cocoon to bursting through it and allowing our graceful yet powerful wings to take flight in the winds of opportunity! Catch that in the spirit!
Remember to First to acknowledge God often, seek his guidance, be gracious to yourself, remember to compliment yourself generously, remember to understand, that although you have set goals for yourself the ultimate goal is to love who you are. When you love yourself you are able to love and help others. I’m sure most of us have been through enough to understand that what we have been through is enough hurt regardless of our ages and our experiences for a multitude of people for a lifetime. God wants us to never forget where he has brought us from but he wants us to focus more on where he is leading us. So, if we can just keep in mind that on the other side of our going through difficultly/adversity, awaits our victory, success is awaiting us, opportunity is awaiting us and lives to be touched by that beautiful reflection of God’s love staring back at you in the mirror of life!
Let’s change the words following “I AM” that you may temporarily use in every negative sense, to words that follow in the positive. From personal experience I believe you will see positive and effective change from the inside out! Lastly, let’s remember that weakness really does signify strength because it is through our weakness of surrendering all that which is painful and hurtful, that it is God’s strength carries us into our next level of I AM WHAT GOD SAYS I AM!
Catch it in the spirit,
