In no way am I perfect, but what I have come to learn about myself is that I have a Sincere heart and I love and care for people so deeply that an open heart like this can be abused as well as misused. A lesson that I came to learn early in life; therefore, I created a wall, a protective barrier.

On the other hand, a better lesson that I was taught early was that “God knows my name” and although somewhere in life the Lord’s voice seemed far the word says, that his strength supports me, and that even in darkness I cannot hide from him because to God the night shines as bright as the day.

So, I challenge you this Morning as you get ready for your day or maybe you are already in it, but find a moment mediate on who God says you are! He knows your name, but the question is: Do you know your name? God made me and he made me wonderfully complex and he examines my heart so he knows everything about me and I have come to be okay with that because the more I read about God the more I learn that the ugly, scary, crazy parts that the world would reject he accepts.

Honestly, the enemy tries to destroy you with words from his mouth and please understand I know how accurate his words may seem to be, but God’s words ARE ACCURATE and they help you overcome the lies of the enemy. I have come to realize that at one time I thought of Christ from a human perspective, but I know him differently now for myself and I encourage you to get to know him and what he says about you for yourself.

I trust that you will come to see just how the enemy tries to deceive the whole world. You are an Ambassador and God wants to give you his goodness and as a matter of fact his goodness is sitting right there, the ashes from your past are under your feet even if you are still holding them. Accept a new life in Christ and be free! Even when your thoughts are far from Christ he is not far from you so let him lead you along the path of everlasting life because he will accept you bags and all.

He did it for me!
