Remember...

I was reminded tonight of the importance of remembrance.  The importance of disciplining my mind to recount the wonderful works of my God. The importance of not allowing the enemy to screw with the written record...

Remember. Remember God's faithfulness. Remember His mercy. Remember the investment He's made in you, the time He's spent with you, the jealousy He has for you, His desire for more of you...Remember the days of not knowing Him. Remember what they were like. Remember, truly and without beautification, what it is to be without God.

Remember what He's established in your life- it cannot be unestablished.  Remember the sin He has conquered in your life- it cannot be unconquered. Remember the Spirit He has sealed you with- He will not leave His promise unfulfilled.

Jesus has died and so have you. Jesus was buried; you also lied in a tomb. Jesus is indeed risen and you are with Him. You are a Christian. You are a Christ follower. The Anointed by the Anointed One. The second-born from the dead. The redeemed and perfected life continually being redeemed and perfected. You are hidden in Christ.

You are secure in the secret place of the Most High. You are restored in order that you may go and restore. You were given truth that you might proclaim it. You were washed that you might bathe the least among you. You were bought.

Don't forget.
