Shame Free and Brand New

After a year full of fear, sickness, grief, and lies, I want to wish you, dear readers, a very happy, New Year full of God’s truth, the truth that Jesus says sets us free in John 8:32.

The truth that if you believe his sacrifice on the cross cancelled out all your sins, past, present, and future, then you are:

shame free 

brand new

and invited to live in God’s presence now and forever more.

So here are a few verses to help you stand free as the chosen, purified, lovable woman God sees when he looks at you through the lens of Christ.

I hope they help cancel out any lies you may believe about yourself in the upcoming year.

Psalm 25:3
No one who hopes in you (God) will ever be put to shame.

Lam. 22-23
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.²³ They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!

Romans 8:1-2
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, ² because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 

1 Pet. 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Col. 3:11
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

 I hope this helps you trust you are:

• Beautiful
• Purified
• Enough in every way
• and worthy of love
• as God’s child

So, please share this truth that sets us free from low self-esteem and struggling with our mistakes and regrets because everyone needs it. Everyone. You are not alone. Jesus is the savior of the world.

Acts 5:20
An angel who rescued Peter from jail told him, “Go, stand in the temple courts, and tell the people all about this new life.”

Hope you have a happy brand-new year, dear readers!
