Encouragement, for those who need
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 1:50 pm
hey all, just wanted to share something that God's been really speaking to me about. Hopefully it'll encourage you. If not, hey je suis desole (that's french for i'm sorry) for wasting your time.
A quote: "The whole point is that you're never going to be good enough on your own to be used of Christ....You can't do it. You'll never be clean enough, or you'll never be perfect. You will never be perfect, and you will fail. But because of Jesus' blood you can go forward and not let the enemy steal that opportunity away it's not a matter of 'Oh gosh, I can't do this because I've done all this garbage and I feel so bad.' That's the enemy because you can be a tool-maybe a dirty tool, but God doesn't see the dirt. He only sees the blood of Jesus Christ.'" (from September 2003 CCM, Petra article)
So often times we can feel bad about how we mess up or fail, but yet God wants us to move on and keep serving Him. We'll never be perfect. That's not what God's asking for. He's asking for us to serve Him, and when we fail to go for forgiveness and then to move on.
Satan can only make you feel bad about yourself if you let him. If you resist him, he'll flee. He has to. Satan only has as much power over you as you let him have....
So don't let Satan tell you you're not good enough or you are a failure, cuz you're not.....God sees you as His child and He loves you so much.....
God bless.
