we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of

            need.  There  is  no  pain,  no  disappointment  known  to
            humankind, which The LORD JESUS has not known and
            overcome. Since our identity is in HIM, we are likewise

            overcomers.

            GOD  is  greater  than  our  adversary.  1  John  4:4: You,
            dear children, are from GOD and have overcome them,

            because the ONE who is in you is greater than the one
            who  is  in  the  world.  We  are  of  GOD,  in  GOD  and

            identified  with  GOD  through  CHRIST  JESUS.  Thus,  the
            Dark Realm has no jurisdiction over who we are.

            GOD is comforting, compassionate, merciful, gracious,
            and  redemptive. Psalm 86:15: But You, O LORD, are a

            GOD full of compassion and gracious, longsuffering, and
            abundant  in  mercy  and  truth.    HIS  character  is

            transferred to us to become fully who HE created us to
            be.


            There  is  a  clear  difference  between  our  self-identity

            based on secular constructs and that which is anchored
            in Biblical Truth.  We can rejoice in the  truth that  our
            identity is not so shallow, as the color of our skin, or as

            fleeting as an erratic definition designed to divide us. It
            is not based on self-worth.  It is based on GOD-worth.         13

            It is not a matter of who we are; it is a matter of WHOSE

            we are!
