A Beautiful Person, Chosen & Beloved

A Beautiful Person, Chosen & Beloved
By
Evangelist. Ilona Henry Afamefuna

Have you ever noticed a strange voice, telling you how stupid, ugly, rejected, abandoned and hated that you are? That is the voice of the devil speaking and taunting you to hate and disbelieve God's love.

It happens on daily basis to everyone of us, but I have a good news for you this day, someone loves you that He is ready to do any thing because of you, irrespective of how people view and under-estimate you, the truth is that you are beloved, accepted and even cherished.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God! Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. 1 John 3:1 (21st Century King James Version)

Hi, are you there? Halleluyah, Halleluyah, the Father of our Adonai Yeshua Hama-Shiach has bestowed or lavished His love upon us that even this world does not recognise us any longer, this love has so much transformed us from being wolves, tigers, lions, salvageous beasts in character and actions, to humble and harmless sheep.
This love goes beyond human imagination, it is a kind of love that sets us apart from every other religion in the world, because it is a transforming love, a conquering love, and a precious one in esence.

Christians in Yeshua have so much belittled themselves, carrying guilts around, living by the mistakes of the past, trying to please God by their religious and sanctimonious efforts, blaming themselves for their past and present faults and failures, while in reality, the Father bcause of Yeshua has forgiven them, not knowing that Yahweh does not look at them from human perspectives, He looks at them through the shed blood of the New Covenant that speaks of better things that that of Abel, the forgiving blood that washes whiter than snow.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3 (King James Version)

The LORD said, he has loved you with an everlasting love, and drawn you with lovingkindness, therefore let every accuser go to hell and burn to ashes, let everyone shut his mouth up, it is no one's business, whether you failed or not, it is up to God to decide, He knows your faults and every weakness, it is up to Him to judge, condemn or acquit you, but on the contrary, He acquits you because of the blood.
Settle it in your heart that the Lord is your righteousness, he bears you up in his loving mighty arms, he supports you in every way possible, and waters you on every side, you are the apple of his eyes.

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalm 103:1-5 (King James Version)

You do not need to carry guilts around, mourning and wandering aimlessly from one minister of the gospel to another, asking for prayers from every nook and cranny, if you have committed any sin, humbly go to God in prayer and ask Him to forgive you, He hears you.
Our relationship with God is that of a father to his son, a loving father forgives his son of every fault and welcomes him home, that is how we are to go God, why then go around with burden of guilts?

Do you know that you are a very beautiful person? You may not know, but I want to let you know that before the Father of lights, you are beautiful, beloved and chosen before the foundation of the world.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 1 Peter 2:9

God has not chosen you to carry your guilts alongside with Him, he called you to live free, because it is His desire for you to b free.
Beloved, believe and settle it in your heart that you are a very beautiful person, chosen and beloved in Him.

A friend of mine sent me this poem over the years:

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem, Not to mention that Friday at Calvary? Face it, He's crazy about you. HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!!
Just mediate on it and you will see how great the love of God is towards you.
God bless you real good.
