“Daily, I find myself taking one step forward and two steps
backwards. Today, I am celebrating my relationship with God and tomorrow I am
wondering if I am worthy to be called a child of God.”
These kind of thoughts can be demoralizing. You daily condemn
yourself, you see yourself from the eyes of other believers who create a
standard for you, and you think you don’t measure up. Soon enough you start withdrawing
from Christian gatherings, you begin to doubt God’s promises on your life. You
start thinking you are not doing enough to deserve or receive them.
Someone once said, “We can never come to comprehend how much God loves us”. I want you to know this, you may
count yourself unfaithful, apart and away from a true Christian. Have you ever
stopped to imagine how God sees you? What he thinks of you? Let me help a
little;
Who then will condemn us? Who would dare even to point a
finger? The One who died for us — who was raised to life for us! — is in the
presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to
drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not
trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying
threats, not backstabbing, NOT EVEN THE WORST SINS LISTED IN SCRIPTURE
I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT NOTHING — nothing living or
dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or
unthinkable — absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of
the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. (Romans 8:34-35, 38-39 NLT, MSG)
Stop condemning yourself, stop living by men’s standard, stop
beating yourself up, start living the life Jesus gave you. Knowing you are
loved beyond what you or anyone can think of.
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY
FAITH, FAITH IN HIS LOVE NOT MEN’S STANDARD, NOT YOURS EITHER.
GO ACHIEVE
