Disappointment in ourselves is inevitable but discouragement is a choice. We all fall short of the Glory of God. Romans 3:23 But His word says nothing will separate us from His love. Don't ever think there is anything you have done that is not forgivable by God. He loves us so much that He gave up His life for us so that we can live eternally with His Father in Heaven. And that sacrifice of life IS our assurance that although we will fail God, He will forgive always. Confess your sins to Him and they will be washed away. It is that simple. The devil will use anything in your past or present to paralyze you where you are. He will attack your mind, your dreams, your actions if you do not guard yourself. He comes when we are tired, hungry and anxious. And then what happens is we sin, then we wallow in our guilt, then we become distracted and we begin to think we are not worthy so why bother trying to be perfect? If God is never going to be pleased then why waste our time? And there it is....our discouragement becomes stunted spiritual growth. That is where we make the choice that hurts us. And that is what the enemy wants you to do...feel you are not good enough, strong enough, worthy enough. It is a lie and it is lethal. Therefore I encourage you to look up scriptures on falling short in God's eyes, sinning and condemnation. It is part of our journey and it is inevitable to be disappointed but we must never give up on ourselves or in the power of our Almighty God for it is He that called us. Just know none of us are worthy of His love and that is why He gave us His gift of Grace. It is that free gift that explains it all. So ease up on yourself and remember the Lord is faithful and forgiving. Just go to Him and He will be there waiting. Have a blessed Monday!
