He Loves Me
1. We are His much Loved Girls.
God is a relational God. He created us in His image (Genesis 1:27) to have a Love relationship with us. Our relational desires come from Him. He died that He could win us back and again have a Love relationship with us.
"Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you. Jeremiah 31:3
"By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us." 1 John 3:16
"Behold what manner of love the Father has lavished us that we should be called children of God." 1 John 3:1
"As the Father loved me, I also have loved you; abide in My Love." John 15:9
We have nothing to do with this love. This is grace: That which we cannot do; secure a love relationship with Him. He has done for us. We have only to believe this truth and receive it by grace. We are His much loved girls. It is this place, sitting with Him, abiding with Him that He desires you to experience an awakening of His love.
2. We are His "I am-I can" girls.
By the grace of God I am what I am. 1 Corinthians 15:10
I am saved--Ephesians 2:5, "It is by grace you have been saved."
I am valued--1 Peter 1:18, 19, "You were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ."
I am special, belonging to God--1 Peter 2:9, "You are chosen (special), a people belonging to God."
I am strong, I am secure, I am steady, I am sure--1 Peter 5:10, "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
"I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
Our I ams and I cans in our everyday thoughts need to match His thoughts. The negative I ams and I can'ts need to be changed with the truth of Holy Spirit. John 8:32, "The truth will set you free."
Our everyday thoughts are directly related to our emotions and the choices we make. For example, if you want to feel empowered and encouraged then believe truthfully and become His I am and I can GIRL!
3. We are His joy girls.
We are not His joy girls because we have no challenge or struggle, but IN our struggles we have a God who is our Refuge, Strength, Friend, rock, Shield, Healer, Redeemer, Mighty Warrior and so much more! This is personal to you in your personal struggles. He is committed to come to you as you come to Him. Your Life and all that concerns you, matters to Him.
Psalm 23:3, "He restores my soul."
2 Corinthians 1:3, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles..."
Romans 15:13, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him..."
Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not dismayed, for I am you God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Psalm 16:11, "You will show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy and eternal pleasures at your right hand."
Isaiah 42:5-7, 10-13
4. We are His warrior girls.
He is our Mighty Warrior! He hears our cries. he comes. He rescues us. He fights for us. he trains us. All because he desires to have a personal love relationship with us.
Worship God: v 1-3
911 call: vs. 4-6
Response to 911 call: vs. 7-15
Rescues us: vs. 16-19
Trains us (28-50) to be "strong in the Lord and in his mighty strength (Ephesians 6:10); steady, standing firm (Ephesians 6:11-18); secure in belonging to Him (1 Peter 2:9); sure in the His word (Paslm 119:97-105)." and fully devoted to Him (2 cchronicles 2:9) as He is fully devoted to us (Jeremiah 24:7). And from this loved relationship with Him, "we love because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19) And then we can truly love one another deeply from the heart." (1 Peter 1:22) Reflecting that we are followers of Christ. John 13:34-35, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my can truly be followers of Christ.
