You Are More

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!  2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)

We are more than what we often we think we are.  In Christ we are a new creation. 

We are not a product of our past.  We are not a product of our past mistakes.  We are not a product of what the world tells us we are or are not.  We are not a product of what has been done to us or what we have done.  What He did for us is what matters.  We are more in Christ.

Sometimes it is difficult to believe this.  Sometimes we have spent far too long away from that that would remind us of who we truly are.  Away from quiet time with God, our father.  Who through His spirit reminds us of how much he loves us.  How much he cherishes us.  How much he enjoys us - Who we truly are as his children.

The messages we often receive from the world or from others may not be led by His spirit.  Often they are not.  They do not remind us of who we truly are, but instead who the world thinks we are or what the world wants us to believe we are.

The remedy?  Return to the source.  Return to the voice of God.  Sit at his feet and soak in his goodness, his warmth, his reassurance, his strength, his love.  Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.

When was the last time you sat at His feet.  How long will you wait? 

You are more than what you think you are.  You are more in Christ.
