Week Twelve: Beloved. My Beloved

Today’s post, New Identity, from Melanie at Just Beloved, encourages us that we can have new dreams and visions found in the One who loved us first.

Beloved:  I know this is a difficult season with challenges and changes all around you. But tune out the noise and the bad news and let Me renew your hope. Let Me tell you who you are:  you are My beloved. I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Though the world is shifting and shaking all around you, find security in Me. Let me give you your true identity as My beloved.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away and the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
