I was greatly inspired by Joyce Meyers teaching this afternoon. She was emphasizing on the importance of knowing for sure that God is not mad at us. We sometimes take ourselves on guilt trips when we feel we have failed God but forget that he does not love us for our great deeds but because of one fact, we are his children, the apple of his eye, his beloved.
When a baby takes his or her first steps, we celebrate and tell our friends and relatives. When the baby falls on the third or fourth step, do we jeer? No,we help them up again while our focus remains on the victory more than the failure. We remain optimistic. God does the same with us. He and his Host in Heaven celebrate our victory and lift us up when we fail. He does not say, aaaaahhhh.....You fell!!! and puts on a sad face. He loves us when we are up and when we are down and that is sure recipe to propel towards been better everyday.
Next time you are feeling unworthy, guilty, or even unloved, tell yourself this words, ' He loves me with an everlasting love' and step back into the game. He sure is pleased when we acknowledge his undying love for us. He ain't mad at you
