I have been bought with a price

I have been bought with a price 1 Cor 6:19-20

These are words that must be meditated on, rehearsed in my memory like a script and reassembled again and again.  I have pondered them over and over as if examining each option for how one piece might connect to another in a living sculpture.

I am adopted into God's family, they call me kin

I am a chosen friend of Christ

I am a saint

I am one of the Lord and Spirit

I'm a member of the body of Christ and I have access to the father through the Holy Spirit

Fan into flames the gift you have received

You have not been given a spirit of timidity, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

Lie:      you do not have a gift

you don't know who you are

so how can you have a gift?

Who knows you?

Recognizes you?

Who do you serve?

You can't have a gift

they only recognize gifts and people like themselves.

Timothy, you might not think you have a gift today. But it was prophesied over you. So you do have a gift. Don't let others judge you while it is developing don't yield to fear while it is true.

Your life has been expanded by God. God has beautified your life a gift that the enemy is fearful.
