The story of the woman caught in the act of adultery in John 8 gives us a great picture of all the different perceptions that we face on a daily basis. In this story, there was the opinion of those who were doing the stoning, the opinion of the crowd, and the opinion of Jesus. However, the only opinion that matters in that moment is the one the woman chooses to agree with. What she chooses to believe is what will form her paradigm. Will she believe that she is not worthy of life? Will she believe that she doesn’t matter or isn’t worth standing up for? Or will she believe she is worthy, highly valued and deeply loved? We think that story hinges on Jesus’s answer about whether or not she should be stoned, but the reality of how her life moves forward actually hinges on what she chooses to believe. You see, even if the whole world sees our value, it still means nothing if we don’t see it for ourselves.
Part 2 of This is Me takes you beyond just understanding your core beliefs about who you are, your God design; it challenges you to fall in love with your God design… to the point where you enforce that design in your life. Lisa uses many Scriptures to show you the importance of guarding your design and putting a demand on the promises of God in your life. It is time to go beyond waiting on God and understand the authority He has given through Jesus to more confidently navigate your life into your dreams and passions. But it starts with seeing the beauty and value of your own life.
Much like the woman facing all those perceptions, we must choose to agree with God’s opinion and learn how to enforce His design to surface in our lives. Enjoy part 2!
