She is safe, she is secure, she is free and forgiven. Perhaps you find yourself thinking, \u003ci\u003eI want to feel loved and safe and secure. I want to feel free. I want to turn my face toward heaven and experience God's smile\u003c\/i\u003e . Did you know that girl can be you? Because God's love-a love not based upon your performance, but on Christ's-proclaims the truth that you are His and He is \u003ci\u003eglad\u003c\/i\u003e He chose you. This freedom in Christ is meant to become a part of you, something you relish every day. It's like learning how to swing: it can't ever be unlearned.

Because not only do you belong to God, He is \u003ci\u003eglad\u003c\/i\u003e He chose you. Not only does He love you unconditionally, He \u003ci\u003elikes\u003c\/i\u003e you  And not only does He lavish you with grace, He \u003ci\u003esmiles\u003c\/i\u003e upon you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnce you learn how to swing, you can't un-learn it.

She's free and at peace, with herself and her surroundings. As I studied that image I came to realize that the girl is me-because in Christ I am free and at rest. God smiles on His own, and I am at peace. But my experience as a speaker at women's retreats has shown me that many women have difficulty believing that for themselves.
