Its me again,
I had been asking God to show me what to do for my devotions or "God time". He showed me a book by Joyce Myer called Addiction Approval. As I started reading it I realized that it described me. Sad but true. I am not very far but I have learned some things. (Some lines are direct quotations from the book but look funny if I put quotations around them, i will mark them with stars.**)
*First, I struggle a lot with how I think others view me, I see myself in a wrong light, and have some wrong beliefs about myself. I had been seeing myself as un worthy, unloveable etc. Plus I struggled a lot with what to do with my devotions and "being good enough" for God. The truth is that nothing we do is ever good enough. I have been saved by God's grace and his free gift of salvation. I sometimes forget that that is enough and that it is not works or striving but failing.
**If our job were to achieve, we would be called achievers, not believers. ( Being a perfectionist this i think is even more of a struggle for me)
*All I have to do is believe and let God do the work in me, changing me to be the person he wants me to be.
**God loves me unconditionally, and He is pleased with me.
* No matter how much I mess up and make mistakes, I am still priceless to God
**God loves us because He wants to, not because of anything we do to earn or merit His love.
* I am righteous...( 2 Cor
