“GOD WANTS YOU TO EXPERIENCE the riches of your salvation: the Joy of being loved constantly and perfectly. You make a practice of judging yourself, based on how you look or behave or feel. If you like what you see in the mirror, you feel a bit more worthy of GOD’S Love. When things are going smoothly and your performance seems adequate, you find it easier to believe you are The LORD’S beloved child. When you feel discouraged, you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever is wrong. Instead of trying to “fix” yourself, fix your gaze on GOD, the Lover of your soul. Rather than using your energy to judge yourself, redirect it to praising The LORD. Remember that GOD sees you clothed in HIS righteousness, radiant in HIS perfect Love.”
. . . in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. EPHESIANS 2 : 7 – 8
Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. HEBREWS 3 : 1
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. PSALM 34 : 5
Prayer: God instead of trying to fix myself or my problems, help me to fix my eyes and my thoughts on you. To redirect my energy to praising and thanking you for all you’ve done and all you are going to do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
