A New Creed

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

Everyone loves a new creed, right?

• Above and behind all creation, behind all its ingenious design and mind-blowing beauty, is the God of the Bible.
• God has the sort of character that cares about every sparrow, every hair on a head, and every single person, personally.
• God planned me, loved me before He’d even made me, and delighted in hand-crafting me, every single bit of me. (see Psalm 139:13-15)
• I was created with such generous joy for a specific purpose that He knew would be only for me, in my time and place.
• He created me knowing I’d screw it all up. And knowing my sin in advance, He still chose me, chose to love me, create me, and save me (see Revelation 13:8).
• God is the ONLY one who has the right information and the power to judge me, my abilities, my value, and my appearance.
• He judges me worthy of His love (1 John 4:19-21), worthy of dying for me so that I could know His love, here and in heaven.
• God loves me. Actually. God loves me.
• This is fact, not a list of nice thoughts, daydream escapism, or cheap self-help. This is fact about God, not opinion about me, and because of this, its truth is more real than any words or feelings that come against me.
• Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. And if God is for me, who can be against me? (Romans 8:31)
