Luke 6:37 Judge not, and you will not
be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be
forgiven;
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that
whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did
not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the
world might be saved through him.
Stop judging and evaluating yourself, for this is not your role. Above
all, stop comparing yourself with other people. This produces feelings of pride
or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both. I lead each of My children along
a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him or her. Comparing is not only
wrong; it is also meaningless.
Don't look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own
evaluations, or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is
My unconditional Love. Many believers perceive Me as an unpleasable Judge,
angrily searching out their faults and failures. Nothing could be farther from
the truth! I died for your sins, so that I might clothe you in My garments
of salvation. This is how I see you: radiant in My robe of righteousness.
When I discipline you, it is never in anger or disgust; it is to prepare you
for face-to-Face fellowship with me throughout all eternity. Immerse yourself
in My loving Presence. Be receptive to My affirmation, which flows continually
from the throne of grace.
Isaiah 61:10 I will rejoice greatly in
the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of
salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom
decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Proverbs 3:11-12 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of
his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in
whom he delights.
