you are not

You are not what you do.
You are not the popularity that you have received.
You are not the success of your work.
You are not what people say about you.

(Henri Nouwen)

If you believe in Jesus,

You are a child of God.
You are part of the family and people of God.
You are filled with the Holy Spirit.
You are loved by God.
You are accepted by God.
You are redeemed.
You are forgiven.
You are washed clean.
You are sanctified.
You are justified.
You are promised glorification.
You are headed toward a new heaven, and new earth.
You are an heir with Christ of all things.

And may God grant us the grace today,
to remember what we are not,
and what we are,
because of him.
