An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers
Who Am I?
Am I my past? Am I my wounds? Am I my mistakes? Am I my victories? Who am I?
I look in the mirror and hear your still soft voice, Christ in you.
Christ in me? God, have you seen all my sin? Have you been watching me? I am weak and tired. I am overtaken in sorrow. I am a great disappointment. I have looked into the eyes of my loved ones, my family and I can see the labels that resound in their thoughts; failure, fake, liar, useless…
Christ in me is the hope of your glory?! How can Christ be in me? I have failed everyone around me Father, including you. Hope has fleeted from me and I am left in this dark place –
My child, I have called you from the dark place to sit by my side. I have crossed over to pluck you from the hands of the enemy. I have listed your name in the Lambs Book of Life. You cannot go where I will not find you. You can go to the bottom of the ocean, but there I will be, you can hide under the wings of the wind; but there too, I shall find you ~ For there is no place that I will not seek after what belongs to me. I bought you with a high price, my blood in fact, and in me there is no condemnation. Remember always, perfect love casts out all fear.
Do not look into the eyes of those around you, but rather look in my eyes. What you cannot see me? Oh, I believe you can. Close your eyes, look with your mind to seek me, I am here. I am more real than the grass your fingers can touch. I have forgiven you and I have no offense against you. You are mine and what others think, matters not. Obedience and submission to my will, my word is set before you on this day. For I have looked and seen, and in you my child, I am well pleased.
You are forgiven. You are made righteous. You are my reward. You are my child. You are an image of me. You are my creation. You are part of my body. You are my bride and I am your groom. Allow the truth of my love to wash over you and carry you into my presence. For I Am!

Thank you for the your sweet words. This was not written from my current beliefs, but rather from a time in my life when I was still healing from a past of physical, sexual and mental abuse. I heard the Lord encourage me to share, because there were others needing to find encouragment that they are not the only ones. That as they face the "man in the mirror", it was not their reflection they should be searching, but rather the Christ inside. Blessings to you!
