Much of the time, I don’t feel good enough, like I’m less than others. I seem to feel better when I do something that pleases (or bugs) somebody. But even when I accomplish something or do well, that good feeling doesn’t last (sometimes I feel lonely, angry, or hurt). So, I numb out for a while and try again. But now I’m seeing that who I am to Jesus doesn’t depend on me. Before I even think of trying to earn God’s love, it’s already there for me. And that’s a relief. Just like that, I can feel vulnerable and worthwhile, and enjoy being who God created me to be. So now, I try to start each day with my “I am” statements and things seem to go better. And if I start feeling down, I just go back and say them again, and that always helps.
