Confession 305: Affirmations to Live By

Most weeks, I feel emptier at the end than I did at the beginning.  If ever I need reminders of God’s love, it’s at the end of the week when my alarm seems like a torture device and I really just want to show movies all day!!

Therefore, I’m re-posting a blog I wrote in 2011 after attending a Priscilla Shirer simulcast. I was inspired by Priscilla to write down some Spiritual affirmations of God’s love.  And I have to say, reading them this morning has lifted my soul on this dreary and cool morning. I pray that they do the same for you.

If you feel like it, I’d love to hear some affirmations of you own.
