Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with

glory and majesty! Psalm 8:5

Are you too hard on yourself? Do you set your expectations too high? Do

you feel like you can’t do anything right?  Do you have poor I-sight?

Remember, your identity isn’t about what you do but who you are. You are

one of God’s children; created by Him with a specific purpose in mind.

When we see ourselves through His eyes, “I can’t do anything right,”

becomes “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”

Philippians 4:13.

God is greater than our shyness, our fears of inadequacy and rejection. He

desires for us to reach out to others in His name. We may not see the big

picture yet, but He is preparing to change the world through us.

To fully be sold out to God means we must discard our feelings of

insecurity and memories of past failures. We are part of the family of God

created to play a role in a holy future and God does not make mistakes.

Maybe we do not measure up to our self-imposed standards. Maybe we feel

like our daily performances are beyond pity. God doesn’t care about that, he

loves and treasures us, because He made us He has plans for us that are

beyond our imagination. If only we will trust him, love Him. Remember,

He gave His life for something precious… us!
