Remembering who we are gives us courage! We are daughters

of the King! Because of the Cross, we can walk in courage. The

Apostle Paul reminds us "We are more than conquerors"

(Romans 8:37). How? Through Him who loved us! God gives us

strength and victory through the power of the Holy Spirit. He

loves us! He is our Savior; we can live and serve Him freely!

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this

is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). The

word "gift" means you do not work for it, you simply receive His

gift of saving grace. Our hope is in our Savior, not our works, we

can courageously walk in freedom as daughters of the King!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own

understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). According to Strong's

Concordance, the word "lean" translated means to lean on or rely

on. Leaning on our own understanding mean to rely on our

own intellect, training, and experience more than we rely on

God. We want to use those things, which are gifts from God

and make our primary reliance on God!
