(excerpts out of Traci’s journal)
I don’t often think about Jesus appreciating
me.

Appreciation for showing kindness to His
children, for sacrificing comfort and ease for His purpose, or for daily seeking intimacy with Him.
children, for sacrificing comfort and ease for His purpose, or for daily seeking intimacy with Him.
It’s a bleak list compared to all Jesus has
done for me, but it does shed some light into how God feels about me. I’d like to think that in the midst of all my
faults, God is still proud of me. Today
I want to forgive myself of thinking negatively about myself. “Love your neighbor as
yourself.” If I’m to love others
deeply I need to love myself deeply also. I want to love how God created me, how He continues
to shape me, and to give myself credit.

I love that Jesus loves me.
I
want to be able also to forgive others easily. When someone does an offense towards me, to first think of how much God
has forgiven me of, and to do the same with others. Easier said than done, but not
impossible. God’s love is extravagant
for me. He sees the good in me. He sees the good in you.
I am His daughter. You are His child.
We are forgiven.
