Once you have spent the time meditating in the Word, knowing how big God is, and how much He loves you, you then can spend some time realizing how loved you are, and how big you are. In other words, when you realize how special God is you will realize how special you are.
You are a new creation, the old has gone (that’s the Word of God, look at 2 Cor. 5.17). This is not just getting saved and getting forgiven, your entire nature changes. And your new nature is a perfect facsimile of Jesus. That means that when God looks at you He sees Jesus. When God relates to you, He relates to you as if it was Jesus. When God hears your prayer, He answers as if it was Jesus. That’s the truth and you need to get that inside your heart.
I have found many Christians really struggle to believe what God says about them. They find it truly difficult to accept. Yet throughout the New Testament, it tells us over and over again that we are righteous, that we are more than conquerors, that we are overcomers, that we are one spirit with Christ, we are redeemed, blessed, highly favoured. We are holy as He is holy, we are in Him!
Colossians 1.12 says: He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.
Do you know today that you’re ENABLED to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people? That’s the truth. You have the free will to choose something else, but that wouldn’t be true. The truth is you have the ability to share in Jesus’ inheritance, to do the works He does, to walk the way He walks.
That should affect your self-worth and self-esteem! You should be getting your self-esteem from your identity and ability in Christ, not your abilities and gifting! You have the ability to walk in the full inheritance of Christ. That’s big and you should be thinking down that line!
