My Identity

In Bible studies I'm studying God's character from James Macdonald's book " Gripped by the Greatness of God"

I'm learning some pretty amazing stuff!

God is Personal. I am chosen. I can have confidence.
God put me on His most wanted list. He spoke the world into being but He formed me and continues to be the potter and I the clay. " 'Many are called, but few are chosen' " Matt 22:14. I have been called by name. " .........I have called you by name; you are Mine!" Isaiah 43:1

God is Present. I am strong. I can have perseverence.
" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil 4:13

God is Loving. I am valued. I can have security.
" 'Since you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life' " Isaiah 43:4 I am valued because of Who I belong to and I have security in Him because He doesn't
change.

God is Faithful. I am heard. I can have peace.
God hears every cry and every plea. He knows our thoughts before we know them. " ' Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord.' " Psalm 139:4 What a God! I can have peace and rest in Him.

God is Patient. I am forgiven. I can have praise.
Even on the cross "Jesus said" ' Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing' " Luke 23:34

Thank you that I can be all I am because of Who You Are.
