God I often struggle to see myself as You might see me. I either fail
to see my faults or fail to see my value. I know You love me for who I
am because You created me this way. I know Your love for me is not
based on what I do for You, because You loved me before I made my first
mistake, before I uttered my first word and even before I took my first
breath. Your love for me is an eternal thread woven through out my life
and fortified through the life, de
ath
and resurrection of JESUS on my behalf. I still struggle with believing
that Your approval doesn't depend on what I do. I confess that sometimes
I get so caught up in doing things for You, GOD, that I lose sight of
the greatest privilege of all…knowing You and being known by You; to
have my name registered as a citizen of heaven which means that I belong
without question to Your eternal kingdom. Nothing else I do on earth
can compare with that joy. LORD, please keep me from the trap of basing
self-worth on my performance. Teach me to rejoice that it is based on
Your unconditional love for me. Teach me Your ways, O LORD, that I may
live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of heart' so that I may
honor You with all my heart. I will praise You, O LORD, my GOD. I will
give glory to Your name forever. For your love for me is very great!!!
