The Struggles of a Christian

Are you worthless? No. Christ died for YOU. - 2014-08-01 08:37

Every now and then everyone and I mean everyone has those moments of self-doubt. I have been looking for a job for quite awhile and it's getting really hard to make ends meet with no cash flow. Just like everyone else I too get down on myself and start to wonder what the heck is going on. Is it me? Is it God telling me to wait on Him? Is it satan blocking me? Who knows. You get the point. However today as I was walking to the end of the drive to get the trash cans I was berating myself wondering why I had not found a job. I even called myself worthless. But The answer to that jumped right into my mind " I am not worthless Christ died for me."

That of course started me thinking, As usual I started realizing that if I could think these things then there are lots of others who also do. We always sit alone in our quiet moments and wonder who could love us, who could possibly want to be with us. The truth of the matter is God does love us. Even in those moments when we are at our most unlovable, our most despicable, selfish, self-centered, self-pitying worst. God knows us, He knows our heart, He knows what we are going to do and want we wish we would have done. 1 John 4:9-11King James Version (KJV) 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
