I have taken to HEART all the words that
other's say about me.
And I still do.
Now this can be a GOOD thing,
when you take the words to
HEART
and say
I AM SORRY
or
use them in a positive manner to make a change in yourself
that is needed
because the words they say are true,
Now it can also be a bad thing,
when you take the words of others to
HEART
and wear them like a glove,
taking ownership of every one of them,
even if they are untrue about what they are saying.
I have taken ALL WORDS TO HEART,
so deeply that I BELIEVED
that
I deserved to be punished,
as the WORDS branded me as
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Oh to live a life as
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
is living a
NOT GOOD ENOUGH LIFE.
But the GOOD that has come from my
BELIEVING that I was NOT GOOD ENOUGH
brought me into the bosom of GOD'S HEART,
for where I met
JESUS,
who told me THE TRUTH.
But it wasn't until I took HIS WORDS to HEART,
that I finally BELIEVED
that I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH
without
JESUS.
HIS HEALING WORDS
are not PUNISHING WORDS~
"Therefore there is now
no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in CHRIST JESUS [who believe in HIM as personal LORD and SAVIOR]"
(Romans 8:1).
But do I deserve to be PUNISHED?
Oh yes,
as I am a sinner by BIRTH,
carrying the DNA of Adam
the very first sinner.
But do I deserve to be LOVED.
Oh yes,
because
GOD SAID so and
JESUS made it so.
"There is no fear in love [dread does not exist].
But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear,
because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment,
so the one who is afraid [of GOD'S judgment] is not perfected in love
[has not grown into a sufficient understanding of GOD'S love].
We love, because HE first loved us"
(I John 4:17 AMP).
Aren't you glad that
JESUS IS REAL AND SO ARE YOU
and that you can
"TAKE HEART. IT IS I. DO NOT BE AFRAID"
so that
you can LIVE as
"PERFECTLY LOVED"
