Some days I feel down in the mouth. I feel upset and nothing goes my way. The little problems are mountains. What should I do when I feel this way?
I can replace my own negative and myopic self talk with scriptures. I can fill my head with the glory of God. Doing this doesn’t make me less pathetic or sinful, it just ensures I remember that I am loved.
Sometimes we all need to remember this. The worst of humans have access to God’s grace. Even when we are sure of our failures and certain of our hopelessness God can reach us. Because our place in his kingdom is not a product of our goodness but His holiness. God loves me not because I am lovable but because He is love.
When your inner voice tells you that you are unworthy say back, “Yes, but God is worthy.”
When your inner voice says you are a failure reply, “Yes, but God is not.”
When your inner voice reminds you how unlovable you are answer, “So true, but God IS love.”
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
