All He Says I Am

{Journal Entry 8/26/14}

"As I have gone about my day, I have felt so imperfect, so inadequate, and like a complete failure. As I grow disappointed in myself, I believe the lie that God is disappointed in me too. On the days when I don't spend time with Jesus, I just know that He is upset with me. He knows I try to spend time with Him, so when I fail, He must be mad. When I finally do come to Him, surely He is not happy with me. Surely He is counting the missed days against me. Surely He is just waiting for me to mess up. He must roll his eyes when I act holy or when I am a judgmental hypocrite. After all I do to Him, surely He is disappointed in me. Oh, but I couldn't be further from the truth. I am all He says I am. I am His. My Daddy is not upset at me. He gets so happy when I make time for Him and He loves me crying out to Him. He loves when I show Him my weaknesses because He makes me stronger." 

Whenever you are feeling as though God is disappointed in you, go to Him and just talk to Him. Read His Love Letter to you and bask in the promise of His never ending love.
