AM . . .
NEVER ALONE
We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed.
(2 Corinthians 4:8–9)

I AM . . .
NOT AFRAID
God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-control.
(2 Timothy 1:7)

I AM . . .
BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST
Our faces, then, are not covered. We all show the Lord’s glory, and we are being changed to be like him.
(2 Corinthians 3:18)

LOVED
Brothers and sisters, God loves you, and we know he has chosen you.
(1 Thessalonians 1:4)

I AM . . .
CREATED FOR GOOD
God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing.
(Ephesians 2:10)

I AM . . .
MARKED AS GOD’S
And in Christ, God put his special mark of ownership on you by giving you the Holy Spirit that he had promised.
(Ephesians 1:13)

I AM . . .
PROTECTED
We know that those who are God’s children do not continue to sin. The Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot touch them.
(1 John 5:18)
