YOU ARE WORTHLESS

YOU ARE WORTHLESS.

You are worthless. You are incurably self-centered,
unimpressively proud, and malevolently insincere. You seek your own comfort and
security at the expense of all others, and you flaunt your success in their
faces. Not only do you not love your enemy and don’t bless those who persecute
you, you don’t even love your friends well. You daily set up idols of money and
self, and whore around with your false gods named Mammon and Me. Your minds are
willingly filled with depraved thoughts, gluttonous cravings, greedy impulses,
and lustful desires. You hate what God loves and love what God hates. Even in
your martyrdom there is pride and self-glory thoroughly corrupting it. You have
no value in and of yourself, but you are inherently wicked. There is nothing
good or righteous or holy or selfless or just or impartial or benevolent in
your hearts. Even your finest attempts at love are mediocre at best, and you
are but a weak shadow of who you were created to be.

And Christ loves us anyway.
