Declaration

Read this aloud each morning if you desire:

 

I am the Father's beloved child. I do not practice the Sermon on the Mount to earn love. I practice it because I am loved. Christ is my life. The Spirit is forming the character of Jesus within me. The Beatitudes reveal who Christ is, who I truly am in Him, and who Grace is shaping me to become. Today I surrender again to the Jesus Way, trusting that the One who began a good work in me will faithfully complete it. Amen.
