YOU ARE who GOD says YOU ARE! - By Peninnah Kamera

Did you know that people who love to bring out your past are the ones that feel threatened by your present?

The people who had a difficult time accepting Jesus as Lord always questioned His past, like in Matthew 13:55 " Isn't this the carpenter 's son? Isn't His mother's name Mary? Aren't His brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?" In another example, Nathaniel echoed how most people in those days viewed Nazareth, Our Lord's hometown, by saying, " Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" John 1:46
Well, something great did come out of Nazareth; Yeshua, the Saviour of the world! Well, something great did come out of Nazareth; Yeshua, the Saviour of the world! 


So I would like to encourage you, no matter what people say about you, don't base your worth on their opinions. Base your worth on the Greater One in you, your creator who is your loving Abba Father, who by the way thinks you are awesome, valuable and worth His beloved Son's sacrifice to save you. 

To God, your past is irrelevant, it was buried with Christ. He has a bright future for you, look forward with hope. 

You are deeply loved by your heavenly Father. Happy New year!

A BLESSED 2018

John the apostle documents this command from Christ Jesus:

“Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” -
JOHN 13:34B-35

Later the same apostle drives the point home:

My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. - 1 JOHN 3:18

Then along comes the apostle Paul and gives us a resolution, if you will, to live by:

Do not owe anyone anything—except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the Law. - ROMANS 13:8

We'll be wise to heed these exhortations and
may this be our renewed resolution for 2018.

And lest we forget - we don't do this in out own strength but through Christ we can do all things...yes...for His love has already been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit...let's just turn it loose on everyone we cross paths with.

Blessings beloved!
