Today I am all about blogging for my sisters in Christ from my online Bible study.
the online study is all about a confident heart in Christ and knowing who I am in Christ . We are using the book written by : Renee Swope ~ A Confident Heart .
In the chapter we have been reading this week she talks about how like a radio has AM and FM frequencies our thoughts have this too. She says that AM thoughts are thoughts against me, and the FM thoughts are for me. This really resonated with me as I so struggle with thinking very negative thoughts against myself. I have done this for so long I couldn't tell you when it ll started. So I sat up while reading and paid close attention to what came next in these pages. I will need to work on my thoughts from here on out in order to change this and become a confident woman in Christ !
So now I will be doing some processing of my AM thinking and say some statements like : when doubt comes against me I will rely on the truth that God is for me ! And then I will have a verse from God's word to prove what God says about me. His word is for us , yes, that is for you ! God loves us so much and he wants us to be confident in him . I grew up being taught from God's word and knew he loved me but some how I just never have totally believed to the point of accepting that his great love means I am totally accepted as I am . I struggle with the idea I have to be good enough as isn't that what we learn in this life? I am learning more about Grace , God's Grace, that says I don't have to be perfect, that in fact He made a way for me in my imperfection and that he loves me , wants me , is working for me, that he says I am His Masterpiece . Wow God's masterpiece ! So many new thoughts and actions I need to put into my life now. If I truly want to get rid on AM (against me) thoughts and have more FM (for me) thoughts I need God's word to be planted deep down in my heart and by memorizing his words of truth I can do just that!
Psalm 139:13,15
For you created my inmost being ; you knit me together in my mothers womb.
My frAme was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place , when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
