"God does not want your heart full of worries and fears, tossed and turned by every challenge that comes your way. He wants your heart at rest and established by His grace towards you.
But when you think that the breakthroughs to your challenges depend on your ability to obey God, then your heart will never be at rest. It will be full of worries and anxieties. Why? Because you can never obey God perfectly.
But when you depend on God’s grace, that is, His undeserved, unmerited favour, the opposite happens — your heart becomes established. When you know that the only thing that qualifies you to receive God’s blessings is faith in the finished work of Christ, your heart becomes established. Then, you will walk without fear of your troubles swallowing you up. You will walk with full assurance that His blessings will be manifested in your life."
Been out of sorts lately, haven't been myself for some time. Think I'm trying too hard to be accepted. The above have reminded me that I shouldn't care so much about how I'm being judged by worldly measures. God's judgement is what matters most. I don't have to be involved in gossips to bond, and I don't have to please everyone in hope for return.
