Confession time! I have this recurring horrible issue: I'm filled with an incredible sense of self doubt, and a lot of times my "inner warrior" is more like an abusive masochistic authority that revels in making sure I feel every mistake and failure over and over again. π Just being real. π€·ββοΈ This is something that I struggle with daily, and am working on continuously.
π
But, before I found Christ, this horrible habit of mine would destroy me mentally and physically. It would manifest as physical pain and I would not be able to get out of bed. I would obsess over every detail and it led to a pretty deep depression. I couldn't see myself as a success and would limit everything I did. I felt broken, unworthy, and like a failure.
π
What I've realized, and what I've learned above all, is that God sees the best version of me. He is my champion and loves me no matter how many times I fail or how many mistakes I make. He gives me the ability to see myself through His lense. My failures may still cause me to doubt, but there is now a stronger voice inside me that tells me how strong I am, and that I'm more than enough. And that no matter how many times I fall, He will be there to give strength and encouragement. His love really is amazing.
π
You see, this is what He does. He is there when you are successful, but more importantly, He is there when you fall. He is waiting to pick you up, dust you off, and tell you that you will be ok and you will overcome. He is your strength when you need it, and your cheerleader when you are down. He is that little voice inside you saying "Get up. Try again. I believe in you. I see you." No matter how bad you think you've screwed up, He only sees perfection. His image, His creation. He adores you and will be your strength through any obstacle. His power is infinite and His love is all encompassing. π Put your faith in Him and know that you will forever be loved and not alone. You will succeed through Him and His blessings will overflow in your life. Give your worries, your failures, you fears to Him and feel that heaviness being lifted away. He is your strength and through Him, you can do anything. πͺ
