Good Enough
For many of us, our biggest problem is that we don't like ourselves, and
our skewed outlook makes it difficult for us to believe that God could
possibly love us.
For years I struggled with this problem. I spent at least 75 percent of
my time trying to change myself, but all I really did was stress myself
out while the devil constantly made me feel guilty. I never felt good
enough.
Isaiah 53 tells us that when Jesus died for our sins, He also bore the
guilt. He loved us so much that He paid the price so we wouldn't have to
suffer with the terrible feelings of condemnation. If we go to God and
sincerely ask Him to forgive us, He does, and there is no reason to live
with condemnation.
God loves you, and He wants you to believe it and receive it all the
time. He also wants you to be free from condemnation. But it takes faith
and boldness to be free. God says you are good enough. Accept that
today and live a life of victory.
Prayer Starter: God, Your Son has taken my guilt and punishment and made
me good enough. I believe that today, and I refuse to live with the
burden of condemnation. I ask for and receive Your forgiveness for my
sins.
