What You Believe About What God Says | Ep. 002
Have you ever felt a disconnect between how you feel about yourself and what God’s Word says about you? In today’s episode, Charisse teaches you how to retrain your brain and truly see yourself as wonderfully and as beautifully as God sees you. Charisse warns that your identity flows from what you believe about yourself, even if that is a false belief. We tend to see ourselves through the lenses of our careers, our families, or even our mistakes and failures. And yet, you have a cherished and secure identity as a daughter of Christ, one that was set aside when you were created.
Charisse points us back to 1 Peter 2:9, which reads, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (NIV). Do you believe that God has a plan for those who know and love him? And do you believe that this applies to you as well? Regardless of your answer to those questions, Charisse encourages us to call upon the Lord and ask Him to reveal this truth to us: that we are chosen and created for a purpose. Success comes when our identities are first rooted in the One who knit together our hearts and calls us to follow Him. And as Charisse says, “We don’t need to know the how; we just need to know Him.”
