🌟 **Shinemas Day 11 — What God Says About You**
**Scripture:**
> *“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.”*
> — **Isaiah 43:1 (KJV)**
When anxiety is loud, it often speaks in labels. It tells you who you are based on your fears, your struggles, or your hardest days. It may call you weak, behind, broken, or too much. Over time, those voices can feel familiar—even believable.
But God speaks differently.
He doesn’t define you by your anxiety.
He doesn’t identify you by your worst moments.
He doesn’t reduce you to your struggles.
Instead, He says, *“You are mine.”*
Isaiah’s words are deeply personal. God doesn’t speak to a crowd—He speaks to *you*. He calls you by name. He reminds you that you belong, that you are seen, and that you are deeply loved.
Belonging changes everything. When you know who you belong to, the lies lose their power. You may still have anxious thoughts, but they no longer get to define your identity. God’s truth stands firmer than your feelings.
You are not forgotten.
You are not a burden.
You are not failing at faith.
You are redeemed.
You are known.
You are held.
Today, when negative thoughts try to tell you who you are, pause and ask yourself: *“Is this what God says about me?”* Then gently replace the lie with the truth of His Word.
Let His voice be louder than fear.
Let His love be stronger than doubt.
Let His truth settle your heart.
