Satan loves to remind me of all the mistakes that I have made, and I have made a ton of mistakes. I still cringe at all my mistakes, when I was younger. I still make mistakes each day. I sin. I ask God to forgive me and help me to do better each day. I am so far from perfect. I need God each day.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
—1 Timothy 1:15 NKJV
Since I have been seeking God, I have changed so much. I used to have no confidence. I thought that I wasn’t worth anything. When I sought my value in the world, I couldn’t find anything that made me feel worthwhile, that lasted. Everything in this world fades away. Now, I know that God made me for a unique purpose. I am beautiful in his eyes, even if others do not see me that way. When Jesus died on the cross, we were bought at a price. He died for us, so we can live. I matter. You matter. We all matter to God, who made each of us for a unique purpose.
You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.
—1 Corinthians 7:23-24 NKJV
Don’t live for this world. It will never be enough. Keep your gaze focused on God. I pray that everyone around you will see you, how God sees you.
Love this post, my friend. That’s satan’s job, to constantly erode our identity in the Lord. But when we remain in the Lord’s presence, his hold is almost nill. Praise the Lord
