YOU ARE SOMEBODY!
by Kathy Pegram

 

I want you to know something – and that is, you are a child of God. You have been forgiven, loved, adopted, cherished, and called a child of God. Your identity is grounded in something beyond yourself. It is grounded in God. "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people."

You my friend are somebody. You are loved by God, you are the one for whom Christ has died." In a day and age where people are confused about who they are, you need to be reminded who you truly are, a person that is loved and accepted by a God who loves the world.

- You are the righteousness of God in Christ.

- You are the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath.

- Remember that you are who God says that you are

- You have what God says that you have

- You can do what God says that you can do.

- You are an over comer.

- If God is for you, who can be against you.

Do not regard any word spoken about you that does not confirm what God says about you.

"You may not think that the world needs you, but it does. For, you are unique, like no one that has ever been before or will come after. No one can speak with your voice, say your piece, smile your smile or shine your light. No one can take your place, for it is yours alone to fill. If you are not there to shine your light, who knows how many travelers will lose their way as they try to pass by your empty place in the darkness."

-- Ludwig Wittgenstein

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” (Psalm 139:13-14)

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

What more do we need to know? God not only knew all about you before you were born, but he wanted you to be born, and he has a plan for your life. Who Are You? You Are Somebody!
