WORD TO PONDER:  HAVING LOST YOUR SELF RESPECT IN THE WINDS OF CHANGE  12/15/06

Through rapid change and stressed comfort zones much has taken its toll causing an identity crisis for many.  My own have lost self respect including their own identities in manhood and womanhood due to the circumstances over what has fallen.  From sickness, to relationships turned sour, to job and ministry changes, to weight gain and hormone changes, to family upheavals, and sinful choices, many have lost their self-respect.  Much has fallen in the lengthy season of the winds of change. 

I AM your Creator, dear ones, I created you male and female and I glory in every detail of who you are in Me.  Yes, there is no male or female in Christ Jesus, but I don’t want you ashamed of your traits specific to your gender.  I created you with your characteristics and traits intact.  The pain that you have in self-reflection shall be redeemed and I will rebuild you.  I AM your Re-builder and I will help you repair that which has fallen in your life.  I want to see your beautiful smile again, and I want to see it from the inside out and without shame. We rejoice and celebrate over you for you are redeemed from destruction.

Ps 110:3 NKJV

Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth .

Ps 103:5 NKJV

Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,  Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
