Grace Retreat 09 - Whose are you?

Wednesday, June 17, 2009


Before the foundation of the world, God made a plan to love us -- this is a gift from God.
(we did nothing to earn God's love. So no matter what we do or do not do, God's love for us doesnt change. Similarly, no one can take away God's love from us! "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Roms 8:38-39 NOTHING can separate you from God's love! )


My heart is God's heart.
(this statement just blows my mind away! how can i comprehend this?)


Gentleness comes when your core is healthy.
(this is so telling rite?) when you see a violent, impatient and angry person, u know his/her core too! )


However your soul (core) is, is what your worship is.
(woa! can u see the importance of our soul in worship? soul refers to our emotions and feelings.)


God made you with dignity and for purpose.
(you are made by God! and for a purpose! You were not born to just live, eat, marry and die! You were created for a purpose! You were made by a divine and awesome God! Doesn't that awe you?)


3 pillars for a healthy core:

1) Worth
Our sense of worth comes from the Son of God who so valued us that He suffered and died on our behalf. "We accept God's forgiveness and regard ourselves as righteous because of His grace."


2) Belongingness
(missed copying down this part, but i guess it would be that as believers, we belong to God! We are called his children and heirs! And we belong to the body of Christ, a family of believers in God! That is why christians call each other brothers and sisters! We are all one big family! :)


3) Competence
A sense of competence is found in the Holy Spirit, who enables us to do worthwhile things. The holy spirit assures your competence by empowering you to live a godly life and fulfil God's purposes.



Do you know whose you are, and who you are?


God knew. He knew you before you were born.
