If my Father says something about me, even if I cannot see it yet, I can rest assured it is so… and begin to put on that truth … and walk in it. I can no longer blame someone else for how I view myself. I cannot make the old excuse “that’s just the way I am,” because it is no longer “the way I am.” I take back the stolen ground by simply being in relationship with my Father. His holy genes are now part of my inheritance from Him. I must simply stand and be who He says I am.
