Have you ever found yourself hating your personality? Hating the way you act around others? Squirming inside at the way you did or said things? You want to be a blessing to others. Yet, the thought that you are not good enough hinders you? Do poor thoughts of yourself paralyze you from doing and saying what God is prompting you to do and say?
Give negative self-thoughts over to God in prayer. Ask Him to forgive you for being so hard on yourself. So unrealistic with yourself! God has good thoughts of you. He loves you. He is on your side.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. [1] These are the fruits God’s Spirit produces. Let the Holy Spirit bring forth His fruit in you. Lean on Him!
“For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” [2]
God bought you at a price. He sees great worth in you. Negative self-thoughts and self-talk are not helpful. Glorify God! He is ready to be glorified in you.
Think on what the Lord is saying about you in the Bible. Jesus says to learn from Him. He is gentle, not unrealistic. He will provide rest for your soul.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” [3]
May the Lord bless you today as you rest in Him!
[1] Galatians 5:22-23
[2] 1 Corinthians 6:20
[3] Matthew 11:28-29
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
