HELLO ALL YOU HAPPY PEOPLE! One of the hardest things I think about being a Christian is dealing with the feeling of not being worthy of God's grace and mercy especially when you just messed up or didn't have the best day but reminding yourself that God has made you worthy despite knowing all of your sins and that He loves us more than we can think or imagine. It is a constant tug of war between these two mindsets. Our shortcomings and mistakes make us feel unworthy and a phony but as our understanding of Jesus increases we realize we can never sin so much that Jesus' sacrifice becomes obselete that this righteousness that we have been gifted will never fade away or be snatched away. I constantly have to remind myself to give the same grace and mercy God gives me to myself. I can be my worst critic. I can be my worst enemy and I just have to step back and say, "TonY, nothing you can do can disqualify you from the seat at the table that Jesus paid for so give yourself some slack. You are human after all and the very fact that you worry about letting God down shows the work He is doing in you and your heart for Him." I know I'm probably not the only one who deals with these thoughts and I just want to say you are saved and redeemed. We walk in victory. We don't work for salvation we work because of our salvation and when we mess up Jesus already has it covered. -TonY
