"Sorry Jason..."
...
I don't know just how many times I've heard this over the past summer.
I'm constantly reminded of how Satan can only work within the boundaries that God allows, yet I can't help but feel the toll that these mishap plans are taking on my emotional well-being.
God, remind me continually of your goodness. Remind me of your love. Remind me that the shackles have already been taken off, so there is no need to continue to live as if imprisoned by these doubts and insecurities of your goodness.
Let me bask in the freedom your salvation has provided. People are never going to stop disappointing me, and I'm probably never going to stop disappointing those around me, but Father, teach me the truth in learning how to forgive as you forgave us (Colossians 3:13), and loving those as you love me (1 John 4:19) .
Let this truth permeate throughout my life.
You can do it :) I believe you can forgive others, abide in God's promises, love unconditionally, live securely. We are a new creation in Jesus's sacrifice! We are on an upward spiral :)
