Adamant With Lisa Bevereનમૂનો

No one grows up untouched by darkness. We all hear voices around us to some degree, judging and labeling us. Most, if not all, of us have given ourselves labels as well—false identities that we would swear were true. 

When God draws near to us, it’s not to condemn us, but to intimately gather us to Himself so we can hear His voice declare the truth of who we really are. 

This truth is: We are not the darkness of our past. And we are not defined by our mistakes, gender, or by any external thing. Rather, we are spirits created in the image of God, fashioned for intimacy with the One who gave us breath. 

We lose sight of our identity when we attach it to the wrong things. That’s why God will strip away the limiting labels we’ve picked up along the way. His Spirit works deep within us, removing the old and uncovering what is yet to be seen. 

Maybe fear and insecurity have caused you to reject God’s work in your life. But today, God is speaking to those places you thought were desolate, and He is offering to turn them into a garden again. 

But we have to be willing to let God separate the light from the dark in our lives. God will not allow the lies that have been spoken over you to remain. He will not allow the things you’ve spoken over yourself to be the final say. Instead, He will draw near to you so He can intimately reveal something new in you, something that brings complete healing to every area of pain, setting you free to live in the truth of who He says you are. 

God is so adamantly intimate. He will go to the core of your pain to heal you of it, but you have to allow Him in to do that. What could this look like in your life?
