"You are my Daughter."
"You are so so so LOVED LOVED LOVED."
"You are forgiven; redeemed; restored."
"You are my daughter, created to do good works. You are gentle yet strong, quiet yet you can be filled with wisdom and love through me."
"Drink from my fountain; be filled with my strength. Be joyful always – I am here, I am sovereign, and I am Love."
"Your needs…I will provide for them. Your voice and your gifts…I can use them to love and edify your brothers and sisters. Have PEACE; have JOY. Be strong not on your own but in the LORD."
"Be free."

I need to learn to hear the voice of God and believe it always in my life. The voices of this world always tell me I am never enough; that there is something wrong with me; that I cannot do it.
The voice of the Lord tells me He loves me and made me; that I am enough in Him; that He would never let anything happen to me but the best; that I am forgiven of whatever I have done wrong; that He LOVES me and He has a plan, a hope and a future for me.

As we leave for our first ministry, AIM staff held a few days of training called LAUNCH for us. They were basically laying a foundation of love for us as we head out as a team. We talked about HIGH PREFERENCE, HIGH HONOUR, HIGH SAFETY and HIGH CONSIDERATION….which are all terms for ways we can see each other as people of worth even when they wrong us; to prefer each other and put their needs before our own; to guard each other physically and mentally; and to say “amen” to each person where they are at and to see them as who they could be…because this is the way God sees us.
God really is an amazing God…He tells us that nothings matters except that He loves us, we love him and we love each other. He speaks to us everyday…He is the source of Love and I hope that I can learn what that means more and more.
