ACCEPTED…
Do you sometimes feel that Christ could not possibly want or even love you because you are so dirty and nonredeemable? Do you ever feel defeated, dismayed, discouraged or depressed?
Stop.
Our enemy (satan) does NOT have the authority to defeat us. He wants you to believe he does, but Gods word says otherwise! You are so very much loved by an awesome God. He longs to wrap his hands around your heart and pull you closer to Him.
He says so in His word:
- John 1:12: I am God’s child.
- John 15:15: As a disciple, I am a friend of Jesus Christ.
- Romans 5:1: I have been justified.
- 1 Corinthians 6:17: I am united with the Lord, and I am one with Him in spirit.
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: I have been bought with a price and I belong to God.
- 1 Corinthians 12:27: I am a member of Christ’s body.
- Ephesians 1:3-8: I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child.
- Colossians 1:13-14: I have been redeemed and forgiven of ALL my sins.
- Colossians 2:9-10: I am complete in Christ.
- Hebrews 4:14-16: I have direct access to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ!
With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sins are atoned for.” -Isaiah 6:7
You ARE accepted!

Heart broken – under attack – betrayed – confused – doubting those closes to my heart – hurting
the wounds from someone who say they love you, a brother/sister in the Lord – hurt the deepest
I am called to forgive … I know this
I am called to love … I believe this
My heart so need this post today.

Kathleens last blog post..Men’s Brain vs Women’s Brain
Yes that is how I feel.
I have to get up in five hours to get to my other job, I was thinking “if I died would God love me?” am I going to heaven?
So I got up, had something to eat I had to feel better, I went to look at my mail and thought of stopping by, and then of course as you can see I read your blog.
What got me thinking about not being loved or if I was is that death is certain and I cannot take anyone with me and I am afraid, so I prayed. I must read my bible more and BELIEVE!
You always know what to say – I Love you and your family so much. Thank you for everything!!!
Thank you.
Hi Heather, Love the site. It has been so long since I have read any of your blog. I Love Reading Marks and I have always loved reading your stuff.
We really missed you all coming to town this weekend and I hope it won’t be too much longer before we get together again. Love to you all. Be thinking of you on wednesday. Love the hair it lookes great on you. You look like a fragile porceline (spelling?) doll.
