Good Morning Beauties!
Do you find yourself still trying to be “good enough”? Even though you’re a Christian, a strong believer, the struggle is real for most women I know, though you’d never know if. We hide this one away and bury it deep. This destructive message becomes an under current in our minds, always there, killing our self esteem and self worth. Discovering truth about our next attribute, RIGHTEOUS, will help heal the impact this particular lie has had in our lives.
“Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12 NIV
Our Lord Jesus will surely keep us from the threats of the enemy with His very own shield.- His favor, His grace. What an incredible promise! Let’s look at an important part of the promise - Jesus will extend his promise to the righteous. Are you part of this group? Let’s see what God’s Word says.
“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus is God’s ultimate righteousness revealed on Earth. He is and has always been perfect, sinless, the only one truly righteous by his life. Praise you, Jesus!
The Lord pressed upon my heart today, the truth that we all know, but he wants us to really understand once and for all - Jesus did the work! The indescribable work on the cross, where he took our place and paid for our sins with his precious blood. We only have to believe in this miracle and gift of God to become righteous. Please put down your striving, your stress to do the work - Jesus has already done it all.
So let this truth drop from your head to your heart - you are good enough! There’s nothing you can do to please God more than he is with you right now. Accept this beautiful gift from God - Jesus. The blessings overflow to you from the One who created you, loves you, and sings over you. Selah.
There is so much more to be said about God’s righteousness. Please fight to spend your time with Jesus as you continue your journey this week. So much truth is ahead for you.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
