It is a thought I like to share with people when they are going through a difficult time, struggling, and being hard on themselves. The thought is-“Give yourself grace because God does.”
God knows our weaknesses, our mistakes, our struggles, our inner turmoil. He knows we are finite and that we need Jesus. God does not give up on us. God’s grace is there for us. I like the acronym for what grace stands for”
God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.
But we can be our own worst critics with our internal dialogue. We can tend to get down on ourselves, talk to ourselves negatively, bring our own selves down. It is when I see people doing that as they talk with me that I share the thought, Give yourself grace because God does.
There is no higher authority than God, so if God gives us grace, who we to not do so? God sees us as his children wholly dependent on him and always in need of him. God loves us.
Yes, God will work in our lives to help us grow, overcome, and become more like Jesus. He is our heavenly father who is constantly guiding us, working in our lives, and yes at times convicting us, but his grace is always there. His voice is not a condemning one. Romans 8:1 says:
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
So if the voice in our head is a condemning one, it is not God’s voice. It is either our own or the voice of darkness.
So dear reader, if you are struggling, remember give yourself grace because God does and he is not done working in your life.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
