Just Remember Who You Are

I had a very close friend and mentor who would always remind me as a young minister growing in the Lord this simple statement:

"Remember Who You are...YOU are God's child, You are very precious in His sight and His precious blood was shed for you, never let HIM down."

Even after he retired and he would come and preach for me he would always say to me, "Remember Who You are."

These words got embedded in my heart so strongly that it always pulls me out of temptations that come by my way all the time. There were times when I had almost given up, but I could hear his clear voice saying, "Remember Who You Are". At that moment the love of Christ flashed in my mind and made me remember who I am, and I would just run back to Christ, who is my fortress and shelter from the temptation and the storm. 


My mentor and friend is now with Jesus, but his profound words will always be with me. His love and dedication for Christ drew me even closer to Christ. I want to do the same, I want to make a difference in everyone's life who come in touch with me, by passing on the light that Christ has given me. I want to always remember who I am in Christ and make sure others do so as well.

So, when Satan tries to deceive you don't give in, just "Remember Who You are." You are God's child, You are very precious in His sight and His precious blood was shed for you, never let HIM down.
