Firstly my wonderful and beautiful friend Kathryn sent me an amazing blessing through e-mail, reminding me that unless I love myself, how can I love others as I love myself? It also reminded me of how Jesus is not about condemining us or waiting for us to mess up so He can cry 'Sinner!'. Actually Jesus takes great joy in everything we do for Him, no matter how small, and that we want to be in relationship with Him.
John 3:17 - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Then my daily devotional book reminded me that God can use our suffering to remove the things in us that are not of God. I have a lot of things in me that are not of God so it was a great encouragement to think that there was a purpose in my sufferings. It also called me to not try and get rid of my suffering or battle it but to graciously accept it and see what God does!
I would say lastly but God never stops working, In prayer God reminded me of who I am. I am so hard on myself and don't see a lot about myself that is loveable so for God to tell me that I was His Servant, His Boy was very precious to me.
I hope everyone reading knows how precious they are to God and how God finds lots to love about them that they cannot see.
God Bless you all
