NOT WHO WE ARE

NOT WHO WE ARE
The men and women of this WORLD
Have been DEFINED by sin=
Since the
Beginning of TIME
But it is
IMPORTANT to remember
That that is NOT
WHO WE ARE
We are BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Of our Lord Jesus Christ=
And CHILDREN of the Father
We are defined BY
GOD'S LOVE FOR US
"REMEMBER that your compassion=
O Lord
And your kindness
Are from of old
........in your KINDNESS
Remember me
Because of your goodness=
O LORD"                                                                                                                                 Psalm 25:6, 7
Extravagant overflowing LOVE
For us=that is what
The FATHER
Has for us=That is
What Jesus has for us
He is a KIND=
LOVING GOD
God's love for us
Is like the love
From from the Father=
For his PRIDIGAL SON
In Luke chapter 15=of Saint Luke's GOSPEL
We are DEFINED NOT by sin
But by God's
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for us=
That love that is EVERLASTING
"Before the mountains
Were born=
Or you brought forth
The whole world
From EVERLASTING to EVERLASTING
You are God"                                                                                                                           Psalm 90:2
"In a surge
Of anger=
I hid my face from you
For a moment
But with EVERLASTING KINDNESS
I will have compassion
On you
Says the Lord
YOUR REDEEMER"                                                                                                             Isaiah 54:8
NOT by sin are
We defined=but by
GOD'S EVERLASTING LOVE
For us
WHEN we return to God-
When we are contrite=
When we WALK in
GOD'S TRUTH
God rejoices for us
And embraces us
WITH A HUG
Our past sins NEVER
Stand in the way=
Of God's all UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
For us
"LOVE is patient-
Love is kind=
It does not envy
It does not boast=
It is not proud
........
LOVE always protects-
Always trusts-
Always hopes-
Always PERSEVERES
LOVE NEVER FAILS"                                                                                                     1 Corinthians 13:4-8
We are NOT DEFINED
By sin
We are not defined
BY OUR BROKENNESS
We are GOD'S LOVE for us
We are psalm 25
We are the PRODIGAL SONS
AND DAUGHTERS
RETURNING to our Father God
Jesus says=God the FATHER says=
You are NOT SIN
You are DEFINED BY MY LOVE
FOR YOU=Come and FOLLOW ME
In the names of Jesus=and our ALL LOVING=EVERLASTING FATHER
