Words of Affirmation From The Bible
Why include words of affirmation from the Bible?
I have referred to the Old Testament as the first and greatest Self Help book ever written, and have included a some words of affirmations that makes interesting reading.
We should do well to remember the lessons Jesus taught of God, before we read this list of affirmations.
Jesus taught us that, “I and the Father are One,” and, “The Father that dwelleth in me.”
If the word "God" is a good word for you to use when you read these affirmation, then fine.
If not replace the word God with your preferred belief, or try using the words Universal Mind, Cosmic Mind, Nature or Life.
But first, a word about “God”.
I will not stand here to prove that any particular God exist.
I do not stand on any side of religion, when I speak about “God”. I do so for want of a better name.
To begin with, it will do us well to dispel all our visual ideas of God, especially as a human, because that will seem to limit our ideas of power and resource.
