Security

Ladies,

I hope you have read some of the blogs about being a SECURE Woman in Jesus Christ. A Secure Woman is Saved from Herself, Entitled to Truth, Clothed with Intention, Upended by Grace, Rebounded by Love, and Exceptional in Life. What will you do with this?

Who or what will you look to for Security? The world can not give you security. Whatever the world offers only makes you want more. Another person can not meet all your needs. They will let you down at some point. The only One who can give you security is Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. Take Jesus at His Word and trust Him. He will deliver you from bondage and insecurity.

Victory or Defeat resides in the mind. Let the Holy Spirit transform your mind with the Word of God. Empty out the junk and put off the old. Put on the new in Jesus Christ. Fill your mind with the Word. And stand on the promises in God's Word. Don't immerce yourself in religious life. Take God at His Word and immerce yourself in a relationship with the One who will never let you down, Jesus Christ.

I pray that each of you have a blessed week drawing close to Him and say so long to insecurity.

In Christ Love,
Melody Merritt

Exceptional in Life

Hi Ladies,

I hope that each of you had a wonderful 4th of July and celebrated the freedom that we have in our country. And most importantly that you were able to celebrate your freedom in Christ Jesus as a secure woman. Say so long to your insecurities and live in security.

Over the last few months we have talked about what a secure woman is.

A Secure Woman is...
Saved from Herself
Entitled to Truth
Clothed with Intention
Upended by Grace
Rebounded by Love
Exceptional in Life

Today we talk about the last e: Exceptional in Life. We all have a need for significance, to feel special, to feel needed. As a child of God, a daughter of the King we are called to be different. God has a purpose for each of our lives. "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10. We can only have this new life by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. Sin separates us from a holy God. Jesus came and died on the cross to save us from our sins. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

Without Jesus we can't live this exceptional life. Without Jesus we would be just like everyone else. Be exceptional in Christ Jesus. Let Christ overrun you, not the cultural of today. Determine to put off the old nature and "put on your new nature, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy." Ephesians 4:24. "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Corinthians 5:17.

Choose to be exceptional in life. Bring fame to the name of Jesus Christ. Take God at His Word. Read The Word, Believe the Word, and Live the Word. God knew what He was doing when He created you woman. Be Exceptional in Life. Live a secure life in Jesus Christ.

In Christ Love,
