Shaped by Grace - Lose the Lies & Gain God's TruthSample

Sealed and Secure

Lose the lie: “I’m headed nowhere.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if God sent your purpose in a text? I totally agree! But that’s not the way God works. However, there are ways to know your purpose. It all begins when you invite God into your life through salvation.

Next is where the adventure begins: God shapes you to be like Him. The work of Grace is a finished work. You don’t need to succumb to the pressures to perform, be better than others, or feel left out. No more “doing the work for grace.” Grace is won for you by Jesus! Grace permits you to be His child by faith alone.

My soul has been in a season of reclaiming a child-like faith. God took me through a soul cleansing season for a deeper renewal and more laser focus. What was once buried under layers of shame and guilt has evolved into a stronger dedication. God’s Holy Spirit wrapped strong arms of grace around my mission and ministry.

I’m grateful for this revelation. Salvation, our eternal destination, is Heaven and is sealed and secure! That makes us secure in love, grace, kindness, and goodness. Now, our purpose is to represent. It’s a high honor to be sealed as a child of the living God–you’re an ambassador! You are not elected by people but sealed by God Himself. Ambassadors don’t represent themselves but their country. Since we have an eternal destiny waiting for us in Heaven, then we represent the love given freely to all who come to Him. Because of Jesus we have citizenship in Heaven, and we’re secure.

Grace isn’t a destination but a journey.

Gain God’s Truth: This world is not our home, we’re strangers here. Think about it like this: you represent the King from a heavenly kingdom who made you from His heart of love. He is Lord of all creation! Nothing, absolutely nothing, can detract or subtract from this truth or separate you from His love. This seals your destiny and changes your trajectory, now receive it and live with purpose! This seal makes YOU especially important in God’s grand scheme of things. There is absolutely nothing that’s ordinary about you. You rank as one of the highest diplomats!
