child of god

I love God because He loved me first. Here is my true authentic self, ready to take on whatever life throws at me.

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

'Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. '
Romans 5:3-8 NIV

🎶
1.
O I am glad and satisfied
In Him who strengthens me,
By faith that He His work will do—
In me ‘twill finished be.
How can I doubt or anxious be?
“I am the Truth,” He said.
He tells me that He’s numbered all
The hairs upon my head.
2.
Each single trial upon our way
Is weighed with greatest care;
And every outcome has been planned,
That all things we can bear.
Though Satan and the hosts of hell
Should try to drag us down,
Our God will make it so for us
That we shall win the crown.
