Bedtime Thoughts

It's on my heart that our children learn to see themselves as "God sees them". I want to give our children an identity based on God's truth.
One of the ways we teach our children who God says they are, we wrote out God's words onto extra large sheets of paper and stuck these to the ceiling above their beds.
Before they drift off to sleep, I do my best to read them the words like: "I am accepted. I am secure. I cannot be separated from the LOVE of God."
What peace to meditate on these truths as our last thoughts of the day - truths that define your personal significance to God and your God-given identity. Got this idea from Neil Anderson's "Who I Am in Christ" list; found it in a hand-me-down book Celebrations of Faith by Randy & LisaWilson. I'm blessed by hand-me-downs!
