Of His own will He brought us forth by the Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
James 1:18
I have been born again into the Family of God. I am of the seed of Abraham, an incorruptible seed, and an heir with Christ of the entire world.

My royal lineage gives me noble character.

Because all things have been given to me by God, I am free to give bountifully to others.

My gifts to others are full of spirit, like a generous wine.

I know how to give a gift that is cherished by the receiver and the giver.

I will not give a gift that will hurt the one who receives it.

I give gifts which require personal sacrifice.

I give the right amount at the right time.

When I am with the envious and niggardly, I am courageously generous.

I realize that all I have belongs to God and I use it for His purposes.
2 Corinthians 9:6


And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
-- Romans 8:28-29

I have remembered Thy Name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept Thy Law.
