Thank God for friends!

I receive a somewhat regular emails from a good Christian friend that is a wonderful  encourager, and I received one such email this morning. She talks about asking God, "Why?", when things hard things happen to us! And I have done this; I have cried out to him on occasion and asked Why?  I was even angry at God for 2 years, after my mother passed away. But because he is the loving, forgiving God (Father) he is, he welcomed me back with open arms, when I came running back to Him. And His arms are always open to me and anyone else that asks for his help. The thing that jumped out at me in this mornings email, and brought tears to my eyes, is when Theresa said, "In my own life I'’ve come to realize that I do not know who I am in Christ." I feel  the same way!" But I do know that I sense a stronger closeness to Him when I am simple, sincere and totally honest with Him. If only I could be this way all the time. But we have to claim who we are in Christ and I hope I make a habit of reminding my self who I am in Christ. Theresa had a piece attached to study and I found a similar piece. Here is a link to it:   http://www.christianlifecoaching.co.uk/who-you-are-in-Christ.html I pray that we learn to completely know who we are in Christ!
