I am loved. I matter to God.

I am not hidden. I am known.
“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.”  Psalm 139:1-5

I am a child of God. I have understanding.
“We know that we are children of God…we also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” 1 John 5:19-20

I am not alone.

I am a delight to God. He wants me.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”  Romans 8:2

I am an overcomer.
“And they overcame him [Satan] because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony…”  Revelation 12:11 (ASV)

I am a joint-heir with Christ. I share in His glory.
“The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. No 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

I have already won the victory. God’s spirit in me is greater.
“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”  1 John 4:4 (NLT)

I am more than a conqueror. I cannot be separated from God’s love.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, no any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 8:37

I have the mind of Christ.
