my verse of the season: Romans 8:15

 Starting this season, I looked at my situation:
-My parents live in Korea.
-I moved around a lot in high school, so I do not have a home church
-I enrolled late into this program.
-And many more.
To me, I could not imagine how God would move.  I was so stuck in my situation.  I could and did not look beyond my situation.  I had a hard time praying to God about City Project.  God revealed to me it was because I did not ultimately believe that God would give me $4500.  Whenever I heard testimonies of others, I only thought of them as other people's stories.  Not mine.  But our God is good. He told me otherwise.

This past weekend, God revealed to me how I am His daughter.  I am co-heirs with Christ because I am declared free and clean before God.  And with this identity, I can and should and will be bold.  Bold in who God is.  Bold in how much God loves me.  Bold in that when I ask, God hears.  That's why the verse God gave me for the season is so freeing.
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.  And by him we cry, Abba Father.-Romans 8:15
 Yes, God did not give me a spirit so I once again answer to fear of not being loved or not being worthy, but a spirit of sonship.


I am God's daughter.  I am His princess.  He is my Father.


The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.  now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.-Romans 8:17
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For every who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened-Matthew 7:7

Please help me believe and live out these truths wholeheartedly Father God.
