I Am Righteous

I Am Righteous

I breathe in grace.

I exhale shame.

Because I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Not striving.
Not struggling to qualify.
Not trying to earn what was already given.

I am righteous.

On the days I feel strong.
On the days I feel small.
On the days I question myself.

Still righteous.

Because my identity is not built on performance
it is built on the finished work of Jesus Christ.

He became what I was
so I could become what He is.

Accepted.
Loved.
Secure.

I don’t wake up trying to impress God.
I wake up already embraced.

When I pray, I come boldly.
When I worship, I come freely.
When I fall, I rise confidently.

There is no condemnation here.
No hidden rejection.
No silent disappointment from Heaven.

Only grace.
Only love.
Only righteousness.

So today, I stand tall not in pride,
but in identity.

I am not who guilt says I am.
I am not who fear says I am.

I am who God says I am.

And He calls me righteous.
