Beloved of God - Free Resource

Thanks to Precept Ministries International, learning inductive Bible study skills changed my life!  I did not learn how to discover truth for myself until I was in my 40's but once I learned how to mine God's Word, I found treasures...and I'm still digging and discovering. Hallelujah!

When I first started studying inductively, I thought I knew a lot about God but boy was I wrong!  I didn't have a right understanding of God and I didn't have a right understanding of who I am in Christ.  Getting my mind around the character of God and that I am Beloved of God were  major markers in my spiritual growth.  So, about 10 years ago, I wrote them down in a little book and enjoyed sharing these truths and the little book with as many women as the Lord sent to me.

Why I am sharing the PDF to this little book now?

·  This week I received an email from a woman who told me learning these truths had been a marker in her life and wanted to know if she could get the book to share with someone else.  I told her I would send her the PDF.

·  It was just last week I had to remember that I am Beloved of God, take up these truths and do some mental battle!

·  I've learned so much since putting these truths in a booklet and for several years I've wanted to give it an update.  But, the Lord has had me busy doing other things and I don't see an update any time soon!

So, here it is: Beloved of God Book

When the little book was printed, I had wristbands made.  For over 10 years, when I needed to be reminded that I am Beloved of God, I would wear this wristband as a visual reminder. I've pulled mine back out!  I have about 10 of them left - do you want one?

Sticky Notes!

My team-mate Tracy has a really cool feature on her computer called Sticky Notes.  I love it because I always need to remind myself to do something. Using real sticky notes can get tricky.  Why?  Because they really are sticky and somehow end up getting stuck on the back of something and well...there goes myreminder!  Now, I just need to remember to get that really cool sticky note feature for my computer..

As I was listening to the Bible this past week, God got my attention when He talked about reminders and remembering.  He said:

“This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.“It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will rememberMy covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. “When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” Genesis 9:12-16

The rainbow is a reminder to God. Isn’t that interesting? Now, let me clarify that God does not forget and certainly doesn't need to be reminded of anything.  But, He put the rainbow there as a reminder.  It strikes me that the rainbow is a sticky note of sorts - A big, bold reminder!  A sign and a reminder to God and to us of His faithfulness to His covenants or promises.  It's also a reminder of the truth about what happened and why.  Don't you just love this?  God not only has recorded and preserved for us the truth about the "days of Noah" and the flood but in the account He also shares from His heart. I've been so deeply moved. Oh, you just have to listen to it
