WE NEED TO SEE OURSELVES AS GOD SEES US
We have heard what God says to us; now, we need to see ourselves as God sees us after we have become Christians and He has become our Father. Psychologists tell us that a child’s belief in themselves is deeply influenced by their interpretation of how their parents view them, for example - Self-Worth and Confidence.

God Has Three Things to Say
As we move into the new year, I believe God wants to encourage us to expand our thinking beyond our usual limits and inspire us to imagine a brighter future. God has three things to say and wants you to believe Him. I encourage you to write these down and keep them where you can easily find them. Then, when you are at the end of your rope, pull them out and read them to yourself.
