I wonder what it would be like if I lived every moment of the day - by my TRUE identity?
That is - as the Daughter of THE KING - a Princess - Royalty - One who is TOTALLY loved and accepted? 
How would this affect how we lived? how we acted? How does one parent who knows that she is totally and completely loved and accepted (not to mention totally acceptabe - which is something I am still learning!) 
Does this mean that I would act perfect all the time? No of course not. But if I could always remember who I was - then it would become so natural to act like royalty, one who is loved and accepted ... it would be comfortable - natural just like breathing or putting one foot in front of the other.
How many times today did you double guess something you said or did? If we truly believed and understood our true identity in Christ... we would find a rest that was so great, it wouldnt matter what we said or did - we woudl put an end to beating ourselves up for every little thing that we do. We would stop trying and striving and learn to REST.  
As you can probably tell, I am completely overwhelmed tonight by the love of God. I just finished reading the book "The Shack" by William Young. What a good good book! If you get a chance, give it a read and be sure to check out the website for more information - www@theshackbook.com
How many times during the day do you have to remind yourself of what your name is? or how old you are? or even what your phone number is?
My prayer is that knowing our true identity in Christ, would become SO natural - so familiar - that it becomes part of our everyday, moment by moment - part of life.
Well that's all for today
In Him 
Jackie
