THAT UNWORTHY FEELING




Self-hatred and self-rejection are both ungodly. I have allowed myself to suffer greatly trying to overcome every flaw I saw in myself. I will manage to succeed at conquering one, guess what? another two will suddenly surface. Anyone in my shoes ???

God has made it clear to me that some weaknesses are in my life so HE could showcase HIS great strength in me and through me. He permitted some to linger so I could lean on HIM. All He is asking of me is to accept the offer of Himself as my maker, starter and finisher of my faith. On-going work in progress. I am not expected to accept weakness as part of my life or else I'll be overtaken by them.

I am to accept that when I gave my life to Christ, a good work was begun in me, He is faithful to work me through to completion on the last day. In the interim, I need to accept the fact that I am complete in HIM. Do you agree?
God works in us when we believe in making change a progressive and proactive part of my Christian walk. As we understand HIM better, we are aware of the truth that made us free and continuously walk in and into our freedom.

Is anyone in my shoes? Have you fallen into a pit you thought should never have happened again? Are you beating yourself around and feeling like a failure? Are you thinking this is why marriage has not happened? Do you think God is punishing you? Are you feeling worthless or think you are good for nothing?

Comm'on! You do not have idea how the love of God works.
If you do, you will know the depth of the love that brought Jesus back to Peter after he denied HIM thrice.
You do not have an idea why Jesus could chat with a loose woman at the well.
 You do not have an idea why a known prostitute was allowed to rub perfume on His feet and wipe with her hair.
You do not understand why a cheat and exploiter like Zacchaeus would be permitted to host Jesus to a robust dinner.
You do not have an idea why Shade, yes I mean myself will ever be called a child of God.

Wake up sister! It is about God and the righteous work of the Cross by Jesus. Nothing at all about you than to receive the perfect love of your heavenly father.

Are you moaning over an incessant sin in your life? yes moan but do not lose sight of the God who forgives when you confess it.
Are you feeling God is fed up with your unstable Christian life? yes be fed up with it but never with God.
Are you unhappy with the way life is treating you? yes be unhappy but never lose your joy in Him for that is where your strength come from.

God meant it when He said:

"Long ago the Lord said to ...............(Your name):
“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
    With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself."

Jeremiah 31:3(NLT)

Arise Sister! Receive your Fathers love. It is unconditional. Let the Joy of the SON shine on you.
