But with Jesus, even though I know that there are areas I have to work on, I know He is right there with me, like a life coach cheering me on!! Not pointing out my lack of ability, or questioning my commitment, or wondering weather or not I really mean it when I say " I'm a Christian". But by pointing out the obstacle in front of me, and providing strength to overcome it. By reminding me of my prior decision of loyalty to God and His leading in my life, helping me re-frame how I look at a situation, and people who have hurt me, by bringing scripture to mind to teach, heal. By teaching me to conform to His image which is perfect, and not to another person, or the worlds. Comforting me in my mistakes, or disappointments, always showing up in my life. Always. He is looking at me as His child, made in the image of Him. And like a loving father, He sees the possibility in me and you, not the lack of possibility.
There will be times in all our lives where we feel the unwarranted heavy eyes of disapproval towards us. Weather it's how much we weigh, or what we say, or whatever. Your words and your deeds are up for speculation in a fallen world. But in Christ, there is no condemnation!
Romans 8:1" There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.."
the great mechanic of our souls is hard at work tuning up and repairing all the brokenness. Give your attention to Him, learn Him, and He will break every chain of bondage holding you. His primary focus is on our salvation, not our judgement. He is the great lover of our soul.
Praise God for His love! And His gift of freedom in Christ!
