So Long, Insecurity

I just got this Beth Moore book today.  I attended her simulcast this past Saturday and was really impressed by Beth.  I love that she loves the Word and wants to see women set free in their relationships with God.  I haven't started the book yet, but I'm sure once I do I will be blogging more about it!  

Why I bring this up is that I discovered that my dear friend Kaci (who I know from WSU and haven't seen in years), just posted the commissioning that Beth Moore gave during her simulcast!  She had each of us there turn to a partner and repeat after her this statement to each other.  I'm so thankful that Kaci posted this and that I found it!  Just today I was thinking that I wish I remembered what she had us say.

My Dear Sister
If Christ is Your Savior
You are the dwelling place
Of His own Spirit
You have it IN YOU
to be secure.
Every day of your life
You have a choice to make
You can live in your old defeat
Or you can turn from your unbelief
And choose life
Make up your mind
To put off the old you
And put on the new you.
Never, ever, ever forget
That the Lord is your security.
He will keep your foot
From being caught in a trap.
He will take care of you
To your very last breath.
Now, leave this place
And go out into the world
And act like a person
Who knows she’s dearly loved.
You were born to be exceptional.
So, Girlfriend, go forth
And walk worthy of your calling.
You are clothed in strength and dignity!
Now unto Him
Who can keep you from falling
Be glory and majesty
Power and authority
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Now and forever more
Amen.
 
Can you imagine what the Christian culture would look like if we as women actually believed and lived this out in our lives?  There would be less women who would be offended.  More women who would unselfishly love one another.  Less friendships broken.  More uplifting of each other.  I could go on, but I think you get the picture.  So long insecurity!
