Labels.

Little boxes we either place ourselves in, or others place us in. 

Do you have labels for yourself?  I do. Do they differ when you are have a good day or a bad day? (or  change by the hour or mood?) Mine can. The accuser can get a hold of my mind and before I know it, I'm in the pit of despair. Am I alone here?  Talking to just a few people I know makes me think I'm not. 

Good day: 

Child of God

Saved

Mom

Compassionate

Friendly

Smart
Enough

Bad Day: 

Fat

Failure

Ugly

Stupid

Alone

Unworthy

Sinner
not enough

A couple of not so nice ones as well

But the accuser is just that, an accuser.  Father of LIES. John 8:44 
If someone walks up to us, that you KNOW is a liar, one of those liars grandma might have said "if their lips are a movin they a lyin" do you believe them when they speak? I don't.  I usually listen and in my head I'm saying "Liar liar pants on fire".  So why do we listen to Satan.  God's word says he is the father of lies. Yet when he talks I am quick to think "oh really"? and before I know it I am in the pit believing everything he says about me to me. 
John 8:44 also says "there is no truth in him" talking about the accuser.  NO TRUTH IN HIM. Which means, "if his lips are movin' he's a lyin'".  

If we are in Christ,  there is a long list of "labels" we are given by the Father.  

Loved by God Romans 1:7, Eph 2:4, Col 3:12
His workmanship created in Christ Ephesians 2:10
More than a conqueror Romans 8:37
Complete in Him Col 2:10
Alive with Christ Eph 2:12
Free from the law of sin and death Romans 8:2
Have the mind of Christ 1 Cor 2:16
Can do all things through Christ Philippians 4:13
A new man Col 3:9-10
Joint heir with Christ Romans 8:17
Chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people I Pet 2:9
Light of the world Matt 5:14
Healed by the stripes of Jesus I Pet 2:4
Raised up with Christ and seated in the heavenly places Eph 2:6
Rescued from darkness Col 1:13
Ransomed Isaiah 43:1
Friend of God John 15:15
children of light, children of the day  I Thess 5:5
Bought with a price I Cor 6:20
Sealed with the Holy Spirit Eph 1:13
Citizen of heaven Phil 3:20


I don't know about you, but these "labels" are much more valuable than the ones I give my self, allow the world to give me, or accept from the accuser.  Are there more you can add?  I know there are.  Send them to me, if you have some more.  We can add them to the list.  

Redeemed Is one of my favorite songs.
