If you ever doubt your worth, look to the cross. Jesus suffered on the cross so that your life would have meaning. He sacrificed Himself so that you and I could live a life in His image and in His honor. If you have confessed the Lord as your Savior and welcomed Him into your heart then you are a child of God. And your changed heart will reflect a changed life. Look to Him for the strength to live out your purpose for His glory. We all have a plan ordained by God and it is up to us to look to Him for direction, guidance and then obey what we are told. This gives us a new life everlasting and we die to our old self. There should be no condemnation (which means self guilt for past sins or past actions) in your life for there is no condemnation in Christ and there should not be constant strife and anxiety in your life. I remember years ago I was working at an office where there was a constant battle between my boss and I. There was always distention, up and down emotions, insecurity and self doubt and I remember my sister telling me there was something going on there that was not of God for the things I was experiencing were too frequent. In other words, we will all experience the battle scars from the spiritual warfare that takes place each and everyday where the light fights the darkness. But we then overcome and there is peace. Too much of any negative emotion is not of God. Either our hearts are not right, sin is present and we have yet to repent or someone around us is an evil force that the Lord is trying to warn us from. And my sister was right for there was inappropriate behavior taking place there that she was not privy too. I remember I had to stop and truly reevaluate myself and my life and I resigned from the "start up" assignment that I worked so hard to build up for over six months. But I needed to work where I was reflecting my life in Christ and not in an environment that was filled with sin. And the Lord blessed my obedience with favor and a fabulous job opportunity that I could never have predicted. I share my story so that you too can live a life of peace and joy and a deep understanding of how much God loves you. First, remove the sin out of your life and repent to God and make the necessary changes in your life. When you do that, you will see a just and humble change in your life. When you study the word of God, you will gain an abundance of knowledge of who your Father is and you will never doubt yourself or the love He has for you ever again. Live the victory God has planned for you and do not waste another day out of His will for your life. He wants to bless you with so much, please let Him!
Micah 6:8
