“its okay.” without fail, that’s ALL He ever says to me. Like, whut? After I feel like I’ve done such a horrible job at, anything, whether it be in school or while teaching my kids at work. After I feel like I haven’t tried hard enough and didn’t do what I knew I had to do. After every single time i feel that ive screwed up and made a bajillion million mistakes, He still says it. It’s like He literally grabs my hand (gently, of course) smiles and says, “Summer, it’s okay.” then I sigh, and a strange peace settles in my spirit. And then I start to feel so silly again when I remember that His love for me was and never will be based on what I do or do not do. He loves me, period. That’s all. Thats it. Simple. We tend to complicate things so much, huh? So silly. I don’t know, I’ve been learning so much about His grace these days that it’s really changing me. It’s changing my perspective on life, on everything. It’s the only thing that matters. Hes, insane. I just know if you know without a doubt that you are trying your best to live for Him & honor Him, that’s all that matters. And everybody else can mind their own beeswax..and eat it. Hehe. I mean, y’know..you don’t have to prove anything to anybody. Just do what you know you have to do, and..that’s it. While doing so, just trust in His leading & keep those you know you can trust close to you. Live open & transparent. Yeah, I don’t know. It’s my own personal experience that I am speaking from that I hope somehow encourages whoever reads this. I know how it is to be doing the best you can, and feel like its not good enough. To not feel, supported? for doing what you know is right in Gods eyes. And when I say “right” it is completely aligned with scriptural truth, of course. But yeah. There’s a lot of other things and other points to touch upon as I think about what I’ve just typed but, simply, just keep going. Beloved, keep going. You have a great God who loves you & has always been on your side. Don’t live in fear or intimidation of man or even for the approval of man. Yeah, okay. I think I should start my homework now.
Stay encouraged, and enjoy life. (HE is life :)
