Dear Friends, Partners, and Family,

Lately, I’ve been deeply moved by a simple but powerful truth: I belong to Christ. Not just in word, but in every sense of identity, purpose, and hope. In a world that’s constantly trying to define who we are, I find incredible peace in knowing whose I am.

Here are five truths I’ve been clinging to—maybe they’ll bless you too:

  1. I Am Bought with a Price

“You are not your own; you were bought at a price.” (1 Cor. 6:19–20)

Jesus paid for me with His blood. That means my life isn’t random or disposable—it’s deeply valued by the One who gave everything to make me His.

2. I Am Known by God

“The Lord knows those who are His.” (2 Tim. 2:19)

To belong to Christ means I’m never overlooked. In every storm, every waiting room, every quiet morning—I’m fully seen and fully loved.

3. I Am a New Creation

“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” (2 Cor. 5:17)

Because I belong to Him, my past no longer defines me. His mercy rewrites my story.

Every day is a chance to live new, think new, and love well.

4. I Am Secure in His Love

“Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom. 8:39)

Belonging to Christ means I’m held tightly in His grace—no mistake, no trial, no loss can break that grip.

5. I Am His—Now and Forever

“Whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.” (Rom. 14:8)

This truth gives me peace through every season—whether we’re walking through the valley or celebrating on the mountaintop, we are His.

You may be facing a hard road right now—or maybe you’re in a season of joy.

Wherever you are, I want to remind you: You belong to Christ. That changes everything.
