Lately I have been having a lot of mental battles and thinking I’m not good enough for God. I have been focused on all my flaws because I want to better myself. But I realized focusing on them just made them worse. I have constantly been trying to change things only to be let down when I fail. This morning I asked God to please show me what I was doing wrong because I knew I was missing something(I have asked him this multiple times). While driving to work this morning I realized I just need HIM, I just need to focus on Jesus Christ’s love and share that love to others(I always knew that but it never clicked in my brain the way it did today). When I do that, my chains are broken from my flaws. By focusing on my flaws I was only let down and dragged further down. But by focusing on the good God has done in me those flaws will fade and be overcome. I must be so overwhelmed by God’s great love that there begins to be no room for those little flaws to drag me down and discourge me. So this morning when I got to work and saw this on the marker board I almost screamed with excitement knowing how GREAT our GOD is.
For so long I was focusing on the mountains in my life and being discouraged that I could never get over them. So today I thank God for opening my eyes and showing me that He is so much bigger. By feeling this peace at heart I know I will be able to experience His love and share His love even greater than before.
Focusing on our flaws will never make us flawless. We will never be flawless. But when we focus on something greater than our flaws, our flaws will no longer overpower us.
I have raised $1,000 and am needing to raise $3,000 more by September 25th to continue my World Race journey. If you or someone you know is able to help support me financially it will be greatly appriciated. Every dollar puts me one step closer to following out God’s call. Thank you for all the amazing support this far!
