Whatever God has said about you in His Word is the reality; thats the truth about you. For example, the Word says, ...Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). That means you cant be oppressed; you cant be defeated or disadvantaged in life, because the greater One, with all His wisdom, power, and glory, lives in you. Another truth is in 1 John 3:2 that says, Beloved, now are we the sons of God…. Youre a child of God now; not next year or when you get to heaven; its a present-hour truth. Youre born of Him, and that makes you an associate of the God-kind. Moreover, 1 John 4:17 says, ...As he is so are we in this world; that means youre His express image; the effulgence of His glory. Anyone who has seen you has seen the Master, because youre His icon. No wonder He said in John 17:22, And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. Thus, as He is-glorified-so are you! Affirming the truth of our uniqueness, peculiarity, and superiority, the Apostle James writes, Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures (James 1:18). 1 Peter 2:9 reiterates a similar truth: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Youre peculiar; the first and the best of everything that God created. Youre His most precious and prized possession, called to display the excellence, beauty and perfections of divinity! It doesnt matter what you may be going through in your life today; dont despair; youre more than a conqueror. Youre the seed of Abraham! Youre a success.
