Not a confession but it is what it is.

So I've been losing the battle of the mind these last few weeks.... Thoughts concerning all the mistakes I've made in the past and on a daily basis plague my mind and cause me to seriously question my focus and drive. I know that God loves me but sometimes I slip up and think that there may be a chance (just for a second) that something I've done might actually cause God to rethink His choice in choosing me. I know that's foolish thinking since Romans 8:35 says "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?" Similarly Romans 8:38-39 says "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Having now found these verses I will use them whenever I question my self worth or when my actions cause me to question God's love for me.

I am so thankful that I have God's word to go to when I need it. I sometimes wonder how people in the world manage, its not that I'm not a weak person. I can endure alot of things (even if/when I complain) but I am stronger in HIM and there are times when I just know that I'm not strong enough to make things happen on my own and I need God's backing, favor, protection, etc. I know I'll look back on these blogs the next time I'm in doubt...but for now, I will continue to be encouraged and allow God's word to pacify my spirit.
