Welcome to my quarantine… During this time I’ve learned that I’m not an artist. I take selfies for “fun,” because what else is there to do. I’ve learned that reading books for “fun” is becoming the new normal. I’ve cleaned out my sock drawer, I found my missing highlighters. Why they were in my sock drawer is still a mystery.
But most importantly, I’ve learned how to pray like never before! To trust God with literally everything. He’s the only one that can fix this worldly mess. Becoming closer to God is a priority in my life now! I can’t say I’m too busy any longer. If you haven’t realized I’ve been really bored. So I’ve figured why not use my time to benefit the rest of my life.
Here are some scriptures, that I’ve learned and memorized over this time of resting in God’s presence.
John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind. 1 Corinthians 25:10 By the grace of God, I am what I am. John 3:18 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 11:35 Jesus wept.
The closer you walk with God, the more you know your self-worth. I’ve struggled with knowing myself worth for a long time I’m human. I’ve been called names that have stuck with me, for longer then they should’ve. In this time, I have decided that I’m going to know my self-worth and learn who God says I am because that’s all that matters. I’m going to believe the compliments that people say over the criticism. Chose to remember the good things over the bad.
The Bible says in Psalms 46:5 God is within her, she will not fall. Luke 1:45 “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” Song of Songs 4:7 “You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”
God is within me, so I shouldn’t fear what people say against me. I will not fall. God will fulfill his promises so there is no need to worry about it.
You are Beautiful there is no flaw in you. So why would you believe the lies of the enemy? Tell Satan to get behind you! He has no control over your happiness any longer because you know your self-worth. Why question if you look good enough or are good enough when God says you are fearfully and wonderfully made. there is NO flaw in you my darling.
Psalms 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
God is perfect and wouldn’t lie to you! Satan is evil and deceiving and lies. I choose to believe what God says about me, over what the enemy has tried to say about me. I am walking in knowing my true worth. I choose to believe what God says about me. I hope you make that choice as well! Jesus loves you 🙂
