Today God invites you to live a life marked by faithfulness. By his Spirit and with guidance and encouragement of his Word, no matter what your past has held, this can be your new beginning.

I have been given victory in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians

15:27) and I am a necessary and useful part of the body

of Christ. Because he was wounded, I am healed (Isaiah

53:5). I will use my spiritual gifts to edify others (1 Corinthians 12:7) and I will not use my tongue to speak

cursings, but rather I will speak life giving blessings to everyone I meet (James 3:8-10). My priority is to seek first

the kingdom of God and Gods righteousness (Matthew

6:33). Faith, hope and love especially love, abide in me (1 Corinthians 13:13). For freedom I have been made free

and I [will] walk daily in this gift of freedom (Galatians

5:1).
