“I make you whole.”

“For every hurt, every scar, every bad thing that happened to you, I heal you. I make you whole. You are made anew. A clean slate, I give you. You are made whole for I have restored you. I did not just bring you back where you came from but I bring you to a new place, a place where you don't have to be afraid anymore. No more hiding in the past.”

“My sons and daughters, this night you please Me with your praise which is acceptable. You are able to please Me when you praise My Name. You are not lost in My sight. Be at peace, know that I am with you.”

“So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God.” (Ephesians 2:19).

“Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15).

“One body, united by Me.”

“I make you whole, I heal you, I give you a clean slate, a new place. Have no fear, I love you.”

“I give you My joy, receive My joy. I restore joy. I give you new experiences of My joy. I have promised you, and you will receive new joy.”

“Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death. For what the law, weakened by the flesh, was powerless to do, this God has done: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for the sake of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous decree of the law might be fulfilled in us, who live not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit. The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.” (Romans 8:1-6).

“His divine power has bestowed on us everything that makes for life and devotion, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and power.” (2 Peter 1:3).

We are called to virtue, knowledge, self-control, devotion, mutual affection, and love. We are created to love and be loved.
