☀️ Good day, beautiful people!
Welcome to Fearfully and Wonderfully Made — a place where I hope to regularly encourage you with reminders of our identity in Christ, as I journey along in receiving these truths personally!
This morning I felt led to read in John, chapters 13 through 15 (or letters, as I like to call them 😊). As I was reading John 14:18, this verse really resonated with me:
💬 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
I have had issues with rejection. When I read those words, I immediately thought — I am adopted. I've been told that. I've heard it over and over again, and for a long time I didn't believe it. It has hit me at different times, but this time I am fully choosing to receive it.
And within that is a powerful reminder — we are chosen by Him. What a truth to combat the lie of rejection!
📖 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit — fruit that will last." — John 15:16
He chose us FIRST. Let that sink in. Rejection used to tear me up, and honestly I still have those moments — just far less frequently. Knowing that Christ Himself chose you gives you quite a drastic perspective shift. 💛
It's beautiful how the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart through God's living word and then turns around and uses you to share that truth with others. Part of my purpose is to help others know they are seen, loved, and known. The world and the enemy want to tell us everything but that — and to be transparent, I have too at times. The biggest battle is simply choosing to believe the truth that God tells us in His word over the lies we've carried.
I hope this page becomes a safe place — where people feel free to share what they struggle with, encourage one another, and share testimonies of God's goodness. 🙌
On this journey, the Holy Spirit has flipped the script in my life in so many ways. He has gently and gracefully helped rewrite the story that played in my mind for years — and even though it's painful at times, I am so thankful. God has also recently blessed me with my amazing husband, who has been such an instrument of the Holy Spirit in my life. 🤍
And the pruning? It's not comfortable — but it is necessary.
📖 "He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it will be even more fruitful." — John 15:2
The things that don't serve us need to go, and the flesh sure doesn't like it! But I believe our spirit longs for that freedom. Whether the lie was put there by you, someone else, or the enemy — you don't have to stay there. You have a choice: believe the truth, or believe a lie.
I am ready to walk in truth abundantly, combat the lies that have plagued me for years, and help others do the same. Let's do this together! 🙌✨
