And as I grew closer to God and came to trust His love for me, I got a revelation that I can feel right about myself because I’ve been made right with God through the blood of Jesus – not because of the things I do that are right. We seem to think it’s a “holy” thing to feel down about ourselves. But God wants us to feel good about ourselves and have a healthy, positive view of ourselves because He created us, He loves us and His plans for us are good. If we don’t believe we have value or the abil- ity to do anything well, we won’t have the confi dence to do the great things He has in store for our lives. Now, I’m not talking about being prideful or being “in love” with yourself. When you experience God’s love, it’s a very humbling thing that fi lls your heart with gratitude for all He’s done for you. You know that He is the source of every good thing in your life, and you want to live out His purpose and plans for you in response to His love. The best way to break out of an ungodly mindset about yourself is to know who you are in Christ. Jesus shed His blood and died on the cross so you can be forgiven of your sin and have a personal relationship with God. His sacrifi ce makes you right with God and gives you access to everything He is so you can grow in your faith and develop the character of Christ in your thoughts, words, attitudes and behaviors. Scripture says that we inherit the promises of God through faith and patience (Hebrews 6:12). Sometimes we have to believe God’s Word for a while before we see it fulfi lled in our lives. But if we will be determined not to give up and to trust that God will do everything He says He will do, then we will become what He has destined us to be! I really want you to get this today, because if you base your worth and value on what you do, you will be an insecure, unstable, unhappy person. That is NOT God’s will for you. God knows you are not perfect and you don’t do everything right all the time. But as you see yourself the way He sees you – as His workman- ship, recreated in Christ Jesus to do good works that He predestined you to do (Ephesians 2:10) – you’ll pro- duce more and more right behavior because it’s who you are in Him. You’ll enjoy the inheritance you have through Christ: peace, righteousness, security and tri- umph over opposition! All of these pets are looking for their forever home...
