Whole and Good

by Leave a Comment

What if the lie in the Creation story is not “The Fall,” but something much more subtle and far-reaching?

What if the deepest lie carried through our world religions, philosophies, marketing strategies, and cultural messages is the belief that we and the world are innately flawed?

This worldview is so insidious that most of us rarely notice it. It whispers, “If you do one more thing, then you’ll be whole.” It looks and sounds good. It grows on a beautiful plant that mimics the truth. It looks nourishing, wise, even holy. But once we ingest it, our entire worldview shifts.

Instead of seeing with an ayin tov, a good eye, we begin to see everything as flawed, including ourselves. We blame one another, nature, our bodies,  time, and circumstances. We treat our lives like projects instead of experiences. We treat mistakes as character defects rather than lessons in the human journey. We even begin to treat the human experience itself as something to escape.

But in the beginning, the Creator called it all good, very good.

What does it mean, then, to be made in the image or likeness of God? Does it mean we all look like God physically? We don’t look exactly the same, and Numbers 23:19 reminds us that God is not a man. Does it mean we share characteristics of God, like when someone says you remind them of your parent? Do we share God’s spirit? Genesis 2:7 says that the Eternal God formed man from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the spirit of life, and man became a living soul. Perhaps it is that our spirit is a part of the Eternal God’s spirit, and that is what makes us made in the Divine image.

The Eternal created humans in their image, both whole and good. The Eternal is a spirit with no beginning or ending who created all life in our world. Humans were made differently from all other life because the Eternal lovingly placed a portion of that eternal, infinite spirit within our finite bodies. We are eternal spirits with finite bodies, not bodies with a spirit. The combination of the two, spirit and body, makes us human and makes us a whole soul. Every person is born whole, lacking nothing. That is why the Eternal lovingly formed each of us in our mother’s wombs, making us beautiful, complete, and whole. The Eternal looks on every person and says we are “very good.”

In Hebrew, wholeness is shalom; it is the state of something fully formed, completed, or finished. A related word, shalem, means complete or whole. That is how the Eternal created each of us: whole, with all the potential we need already within us.

Yeshua pointed to this wholeness when he named the greatest commandment:

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:29–30) Wholeness is lived when these four elements–heart, soul, mind, and strength–work together in unity. Yeshua lived from this place of wholeness to show us how to reconnect with the Eternal and awaken from the delusion that we are broken or separate.

Many of Yeshua’s teachings on wholeness are misunderstood today because the Hebrew word shalom is often translated as “peace.” Peace is only one aspect of wholeness. When the angels sang at Yeshua’s birth, they were proclaiming wholeness on earth (Luke 2:14). When Yeshua healed people, he sent them away in wholeness. When he prepared to leave his disciples, he said: “Wholeness I leave with you; my wholeness I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.” (John 14:27)

Yeshua came to open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the truth that we are already whole, and to give us an example of how to live from that wholeness in connection with the Eternal. When we awaken to this truth, we can also accept that we were created good and can return to the good life at any time. The Hebrew word for good is tov, which means functional, or operating as designed. Its opposite, ra, means dysfunctional.  Humans were created good, with the freedom to choose actions that are functional or dysfunctional. People are not completely good or completely bad; they simply choose to operate in functional or dysfunctional ways. The Eternal, though, is wholly good, and our goodness flows from being created in the Divine image.

Yeshua recognized that he could not live functionally in a world full of dysfunction, illusions, and lies without maintaining unity and oneness with the Eternal. He taught that while no person always chooses good on their own, with God all things are possible. His life demonstrated how we can operate out of wholeness and goodness when we are aligned with our original design.

The Bible, then, is a story of relationships and restoration. In the beginning, humans lived whole and good, walking with the Eternal. We lost that connection when we believed the lie that we were lacking something; that we could become like God by grasping for more rather than living from the wholeness already within. This is our human story, but it doesn’t end here. 

Whenever someone or something reminds us that we are already created whole and good in the image of God, our relationship with the Eternal is restored. Yeshua taught this human experience in the parable of the prodigal son. He showed us how to live as children of the Eternal, whole, good, and deeply loved.

Perhaps this is what his life, death, and resurrection reveal most clearly: that Nothing, NO THING, not suffering, not failure, not injustice, not sickness, not loneliness, not even death, can separate us from the Creator. The lie says we are broken and need something more to be fixed. The truth says we were created whole and remain held within the Eternal, always.

We experience liberating peace when we unravel the lie, spit it out, and refuse to plant its seeds in our lives or in the world; then we begin to recognize shalem olam, the wholeness and goodness of ourselves and all creation. The human experience is not evidence that something is wrong with us. It is simply the embodied experience of being human with all of its highs and lows. In this lifetime, it is the only experience we have, so let’s choose wisely.
Our prayer is that we live as those who trust that we were created whole from the beginning and that we walk with the Eternal in that truth, here and now.

Child of God

by

What we believe about God shapes what we believe about ourselves and each other.

Let’s take a moment to pause here and examine some truths that have been clouded over. The easiest way to remember truth is to take a deep breath, our direct connection to The Eternal.  

Many of us were taught to approach God from a place of distance: as though we were born fundamentally wrong or broken. That teaching has shaped how we pray, how we judge ourselves, and how we relate to one another. It has formed us in fear instead of trust.

It’s time to remember and return to what has always been true beyond the noise, the shame, and the stories handed down to us through the generations.

Remember reveals a simple yet powerful truth: we were not born separated from the Creator.

You were not born a sinner as some people want you to believe. That belief is a great lie and delusion that has been passed down through generations, harming people’s lives and their relationship with the Creator and with one another. We all know, or have at least heard, the most quoted scripture in the Bible, John 3:16: “For God so loved the world…” If God loved the world, why would the Eternal create us as sinners?

The Creator never did!

Genesis 1:26–27 tells us that humans were created in the image of God, and verse 31 says that creation was very good. Genesis 2:7 teaches that we became living souls when the Creator breathed the breath of life into our bodies. That breath, spirit, is not separate from God; it is of God. God’s breath in our lungs is what makes us living beings.

We are eternal spirits, made in the image of God, living in mortal bodies. Ecclesiastes 12:7 reminds us that our bodies return to the dust, but our spirits return to the Eternal. This is why Yeshua quotes the Psalms, saying, “You are gods” (John 10:34–38). And just as Yeshua was a son of God, we too are children of God.

Take a pause and breathe deeply. 

If this is true, then faith is not about becoming someone new. Rather, it is about remembering who we already are. This remembering requires our active participation.

Some believe Yeshua lived in oneness with the Eternal so that we would not have to do anything. That is far from the truth. He lived to show us the potential for oneness with the Eternal that exists in all of us.

“May they all be one as you and I are one,” Yeshua prayed (John 17:21). He desired that we experience the same unity he lived with The Eternal. He also said, “Greater works than these will he do” of those who believe and do as he did (John 14:12), because we too are children of God.

Yeshua promised that the Holy Spirit would bring to remembrance all that he taught (John 14:26). This gift allows us to access the wisdom the Eternal has already placed within us. When Yeshua said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9), he was naming our identity.

John affirms this when he writes that those who receive Yeshua are given the right to become children of God, born not of flesh or human will, but of God (John 1:12–13). Paul offers a third witness, saying that the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16–17).

We are born good. We are born whole. But the chaos and dysfunction of the world cloud our minds and cause us to forget who and whose we are.

If everything God creates is good, and if God’s power is unmatched, then a deeper question emerges. Why does the world look the way it does?

Everything the Eternal creates is good. There is no stronger power than God. Look at the order and function woven into creation; how nature works together to sustain life. If all of nature follows the Eternal’s design, why is there chaos, harm, and destruction in the world?

Might it be because when God created humans, we were given the ability to choose. We are free to choose between function and chaos, between serving self-interest or living connected to the Eternal and to creation as designed?

Many choose self-interest over God. In doing so, they create chaos, lies, and delusions for personal gain, harming others and teaching others to do the same. Through this chaos and deception, humanity loses the memory of who we truly are: children of God.

Paul speaks of this strong delusion in 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12. This  forgetting that is not our essence. It is a condition we have learned.

When we remember our original design, our innate goodness and wholeness, living this truth becomes our way of life. 

Through the Holy Spirit, it was revealed to Yeshua that he was to shine a light on humanity so that we could clearly see once more who we truly are: eternal spirits made in the image of the Eternal God, living out eternity connected to the Eternal God right now (John 1:4–5; John 8:12), not in some far-off place or distant time (Luke 18:29–30). Yeshua teaches that the kingdom of God is within us and all around us here and now (Luke 17:20–21). 

He also illustrates our awakening to the truth that we are children of God through the parable of the son who took his inheritance early and left his father’s house. When the son came to the realization that he needed the father’s provision and returned home, he was received with compassion and restoration (Luke 15:11–22). In the same way, when we see the light and remember that we are children of the Eternal God, and when we return to live according to the Eternal God’s natural order, we are welcomed into connection, protection, and provision. 

As we remember, we can live abundantly with the Eternal God, walking whole and free from the bondage and baggage of the lies and deceptions placed upon us.

Yeshua invites us to follow his example, not to admire or even worship him. “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest,” he says. “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:28–30). Yeshua desires to guide us and lighten our load as we walk through life. He also teaches, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it” (Matthew 16:24–25). Yeshua is not speaking of physical death, but of the death of the selfish ego that keeps us captive and causes us to lose sight of our original design. 

He reinforces this call to lived obedience when he says, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). The disciple John expands on this truth, writing, “If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him… Beloved, we are God’s children now” (1 John 2:29–3:3). Living as children of God sets us free to have life, and to have it abundantly.

The invitation is to live aligned. We don’t need to escape the world; we simply need to live in light of the truth. We can continually refuse harmful lies. 

What heals us (and the world) is remembrance, not shame.  What restores us is truth, not fear.  What reconnects us is living as children of the Eternal, grounded in goodness, guided by wisdom, and choosing order over chaos time and again.

Life is about remembering our worth as God’s children. We don’t have to prove it; we just have to live it. 

Unbreakable Marriage

by

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have an amazing marriage that would last happily ever after like the fairy tales?  

 

That kind of marriage does exist and it is no fairy tale.  

 

That unbreakable marriage is between Jesus and His church. Saying yes to Jesus and becoming his follower is like a wedding ceremony where you are becoming part of the bride of Christ, the church, and Jesus is the groom.  During His time on earth, Jesus never married in the traditional sense; however, he did commit his life to his bride, the church. Every disciple of Jesus, comes together as one in Christ to make up his bride, the church.  Ephesians 5:31-32 says,

 

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.”  

 

When we confess that Jesus is Lord and submit to him, it is like saying our wedding vows, beginning the covenant of marriage. Jesus established the Lord’s supper as his marriage covenant with us at the meal with the apostles the night before he was crucified as we read in Matt 26:26-28:

 

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

 

When a believer is baptized into Christ, washed with his blood, and transformed into a new self by the Holy Spirit, it is like the Holy Spirit is the wedding officiant pronouncing the couple husband and wife, sealing the covenant, adding the believer to the church and making them one with Jesus.  Romans 6:3-4 (ESV) tells us,

 

“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”

 

We are no longer the same old person living with sin, but a new, complete person made whole, through the blood of Christ. Best of all, we are part of the bride of Christ, the church, sealed with a covenant the no man can break. This is a marriage of our spirit to Jesus and it is the only marriage that is sealed for eternity.  There is no ‘til death do us part; there is no divorce between Christ and the Church, we are His bride forever.

 

Now that is unconditional love.  

This is the kind of love and marriage we want everyone to experience.  May we always celebrate our spiritual marriage to Jesus through our lives, and let it reflect in our actions so that others may experience Jesus’ love.

Soul Care Vs. Self Care

by

The idea of self care has permeated our culture. Everywhere you turn, you are encouraged to take “me time” or to “treat yourself.” There is nothing inherently wrong with self care. We do need to care for ourselves. In order to love well, we have to be physically and emotionally capable of doing so.

We know that taking time to relax, recharge, and reset are not inherently wrong. But what happens when the usual tools of self care are not enough?

What happens after you spend time alone (or with friends)? After the vacation? The manicure/pedicure? After the shopping trip? The gym? The yoga class?

What happens when you practice self care but you still feel a hollow place of longing from deep within?

Let me introduce you to soul care.

But first, let’s explore some differences between self care and soul care.

 

Self Care vs. Soul Care

Focus: Me Focus: God, the Source
Purpose: Disconnect to recharge, restore, reset Purpose: Connect to the Source of all that is good & beautiful
Result: Quick, temporary results; usually external Result: Intentional, multi-dimensional internal change

 

What is the soul? The soul is that place of deep longing. It is the life and light within you that needs to connect to the Source of all light and life. It is the part of you that knows that there is something more–that there are greater depths to explore and more meaning than what we see.

Why soul care? When you begin a practice of soul care, you are jumping into the deep and wide river of the Source’s love. You are choosing to continuously connect and reconnect to the Source. You realize that the focus is not yourself, but you will change. You are committing to slow down and pay attention to what is happening in your inner world.

A few soul care practices that we use at Be One Yoga are Meditation, Silence, Prayer, and Storying.  You owe it to yourself to not only practice self care, but to practice soul care to connect your soul to the Source, the only answer for the longings of the soul.

How to Protect Your Marriage From Holiday Stress

by

‘Tis the season. Bells are ringing. Lights are twinkling. All is merry and bright–or is it? How is your marriage? Are you and your spouse struggling with the effects of holiday stress? For many couples, the holidays are full of extra events, extra commitments, and extra people. All of this “extra” can lead to feelings of overwhelm.

Stop for a moment. Notice your breath–is it shallow and up in your chest? Do your shoulders and neck ache? Is your chest tight? Do you have a dull headache or feel overly anxious?

Instead of enjoying this time of celebration and excitement, are you and your spouse snappy and high strung? It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right perspective, you can take care of your marriage and even grow closer during this holiday season. It all starts with a little marriage soul care.

Here are some simple, yet impactful ways to protect your marriage from holiday stress.

  1. Choose your priorities! Want to relieve stress and cut it off before it starts? Then focus on what matters most. Spend a few moments in silence and ask God to show you what is necessary to focus on during this time of year for your family. From here, begin to think about your priorities and choose 3 areas of importance for this Christmas season. Perhaps you want to focus on connecting with the Creator, remembering Jesus’ birth, or even just enjoying the season with your family. Whatever your priorities are, write them down and focus your time and energy on them as a couple.
  2. Release Expectations. This is the hardest right? It’s not saying that we cannot have expectations, but we do need to hold them loosely. Grasping at our expectations too tightly is a surefire way to end up anxious and disappointed. Instead of focusing on all the things people say the “perfect holiday” entails, how about looking around at what is actually happening in the moment. Be present to what you are currently doing and allow yourself to engage with whatever is in front of you. You see, anxiety comes when we are preoccupied with the future. It is our ego’s way of trying to control things that we have no control over. When holiday stress and anxiety rear their ugly heads (and they will) ask yourselves: What is happening now? What beauty is here? How can we fully engage this moment?
  3. Read God’s Word together. Spend a few minutes each day (you can start with 5) reading the Word. Time spent in God’s word tunes our heart to His and reminds us of what is important. Read a few verses together and have a quick chat on how it can be used to shape your marriage.
  4. Pray together. We all know we need to pray together, but are we actually doing it. Sure, you may pray for your spouse, but are we praying with them? Praying together helps you to grow in oneness because you are seeking the heart of the Father as a unit. You can share you deep needs, desires, hurts, and joys as one. When you pray together, you, your spouse, and God are all in communion in a way that doesn’t happen when you pray separately. Use this short time to not only speak to God, but to invite a few moments of silence in for listening.
  5. Keep regular couple time. Make it a regular practice during the holidays to make time for each other. Whether it is a date night at home or a shopping date, spend some time with just two of you. During this season when everyone and everything is vying for your time, make your relationship a priority. Spend quality time together often.

The holidays are often a time of stress and strain. But they don’t have to be. Choosing soul care for our marriage can keep us focus on what and Who matter most. May you walk through this season of Advent hand in hand and eyes toward heaven.

Be One, Beloved!

 

Gratitude- Life Debt to Jesus

by

Have you ever read a book or seen a movie where the hero saves someone’s life, and then in gratitude the saved person dedicates her life to serving the hero? This life debt concept is highlighted in many stories, including Star Wars and Harry Potter to name a couple. The greatest story ever told also has the life debt concept, but what sets it apart from other stories is that it is our story and it’s True. The redemption story features Jesus as the greatest hero to ever live. God loved this world so much that he sent Jesus to save the world by taking the punishment for the world’s sin. Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice to God for us all. If anyone has reason to be grateful, it is us.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus, used this same type of life debt concept when describing the relationship those who follow Jesus have with Him in 2 Corinthians 5:14-15. He says, “Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive this new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.” Those who believe in Jesus are given a second chance with a new life free of the guilt of sin. How great is that?! Does knowing you are forgiven of every wrong thing you have done in your life make you feel grateful?

As followers of Jesus, we live in service to God out of gratitude to Him for his love, mercy, and grace. We are not working to earn our salvation, but because we are already saved by Jesus’ sacrifice. Romans 8:7-11 gives an excellent explanation of how God’s love, mercy, and grace produces gratitude in everyone who believes in Jesus.

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.”

Our gratitude for God and desire to spend our lives serving him stems from the love God first showed us. Through our restored relationship, we can rejoice and gratefully give God all the glory. This month, join us as we explore what the Bible says about living in gratitude and how it flows into our relationships with our spouse, children, extended family, and friends.

Be One, Beloved

All Things Work Together For the Good

by

IMG_1017“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” –Romans 8:28 (NLT)
How many of us love this verse? This portion of God’s love letter speaks to our souls because it reminds us of the big picture. It is easy to misinterpret God’s message to us here and make it all about us. Let us say it plainly friend, it is not about us.

This verse is about God.

Often we make this verse mean that everything will work out the way we want it. Our desired outcomes become the only ones that matter. We start to think “if I do this, then I can make x happen.” We get lost in the details of our lives and take the focus from God to us.

But our amazing Creator is too big for that box. When we shift our focus from us to Him, we see that “the good” is something that will always draw our souls closer to our Creator. When we are focused on only our own good, we often choose things move us in the opposite direction. Putting the focus back on God reminds us that even when horrible things happen, God will use them for His glory and to draw us into deeper relationship with Him through Jesus.

Scripture tells us in James 1:17 that “every good and perfect gift comes from above.” We must remember that all good things come from God. In the Kingdom of God, many things that Jesus considers good (suffering, humility, dying to self) are seen as exactly the opposite in our fallen world.

This month’s theme is goodness. Let’s open God’s word together and explore what it says about this fruit of the Spirit. As we grow together in goodness, we can reflect more and more of God’s light into the world.

Joy – Rainbow After the Storm

by

joyHave you ever watched a child experience something for the first time? Think of the way their face lights up. That initial light is inevitably followed by a smile, maybe even laughter. Childlike awe is so precious and infectious; it makes you want to smile and laugh right along with them. It’s amazing to us how children keep that awe even with things they get to see over and over again.

Jesus said that if we want to enter the kingdom of heaven we must be like little children. Could He mean that we should approach God with humble, childlike awe? One of the things that brings joy to our daughters is spotting a rainbow. We search the sky to see who can point it out to everyone. You can see their faces light up when they spot it. Joy is that rainbow after the storm.

We all go through storms in our lives. With God, we can endure those storms and look forward to the rainbow that He has promised us. It is because of the great joy that was ahead of him that Jesus suffered the shame and endured the cross. (Hebrews 12:2) We can look to Jesus as our example as we eagerly wait for the Joy that is to come. Jesus teaches us in John 15:9-11 that if we remain in his love and follow his teaching, we will be filled with His joy and our joy will overflow! What can be better than that?

When we have the overflowing joy that comes from Jesus conquering death and giving us the hope of eternal life, no circumstance can steal that joy away from us because it is based on an unchanging promise. Join us as we focus on living with joy and approaching each day with childlike awe for all God is doing. 

Love and Be Loved

by

LovejesuThis is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. -1 John 4:10 (NLT)

Last month we explored our identity by looking at whose we are. As children of our Creator, our Heavenly Father, we can also learn our purpose in light of God. We all struggle to find purpose in this life. We all ask the question, “Why am I here?” Our Creator planted this question in our minds and souls so that we would seek Him out to find the answer. What an amazing answer it is! Dear friends, our Creator has all the answers to all of your life questions. He teaches us in His Word that we are His children, and as His children, we are called to LOVE and BE LOVED. Yes that’s right, God created us to love us. Does it get any better than that? Each one of us were uniquely and specifically created by our Heavenly Father so that He could love us.

Like a loving father, God not only tells He loves us, He consistently shows it. His lavish and consistent love for us helps us learn how to love and be a reflection of it. God so intricately designed us with feelings,thoughts, desires, and free will, so that we could not only experience His love, but also fully love Him in return. God defines love, but love is not the only definition of God; He is so much more! He gifts a piece of Himself to us in the form of Love.

Our Eternal God displayed the highest form of love in sending Jesus to earth to take on all the wrongs of this world and die for us. Jesus said that there is no greater love than to die for your friends and He did just that for us! We look to Jesus as our example of how we should love God and each other. Love is not embodied by the symbol of a heart but rather by a cross. True love requires sacrifice of self for those we love. So let us love like Jesus, through our words AND actions.

This month’s theme is Love – God and Us. We will focus on what God says about His love for us, our love for him, our love for ourselves, and our love for each other. Understanding and accepting God’s love for us allows us to fully love and be loved from a place of wholeness. Love is not a feeling, but an action and it guides our lives toward oneness with our Creator God and in our marriage.

So join us in our journey to love and be loved as the Eternal created us to be.

Whose You Are…Identity

by

Identity2017Happy New Year! Many blessings as you unwrap the gift of a new year.

Who are you? This is such a loaded question. Often, when someone asks us who we are, we respond with our name, our job, the family we belong to, and perhaps even some activities we like to do. After we answer, though, many of us are never quite satisfied with the answer. It feels incomplete somehow.

That’s because it is.

The truth is we can never quite answer the question of WHO we are until we understand WHOSE we are. You see, our Eternal God made us in His very own image; we are HIS. Just like the moon reflects the light of the sun, for it cannot create its own light, we also reflect the light of the Son.

God has many names for us, but none of them include the things on our usual list. To God, you are His child, His beloved, a co-heir with Christ, a friend of Jesus, a saint, and many other beautiful descriptors.

The most interesting thing about this list is that they all begin with being His. We cannot fully grasp our identity until we realize that it all begins and ends with the Eternal.

So chosen child of God, journey with us throughout the month of January as we explore what God’s love letter says about our identity.
