A girl like me encounters several prideful and doubtful thoughts on a daily basis. So, this is something that hit home. It's exactly what I needed to hear tonight. And it goes beyond the word beautiful... you can substitute it with any word, really...
Pride and doubt. These are two sins that appear to be complete opposites. They kinda are. But nonetheless, they're still both sins and therefore separate us from God. Pride is thinking you're more than you really are. It's the root of all evil. Pride says we don't need God. But we do because we're literally nothing without Him. On the other hand, there's doubt. Doubt is believing you're unworthy and nothing. But once again, we're totally worth it. And because of Jesus, we are made new and worthy. We're made new and in God's image. He also died for us. That says something right? I think so.
I'm consistently finding myself to get to a healthy balance between the two. Tonight I encourage you to do the same. "You are less than you think, but more than you believe. Ultimately we need to embrace who God has created us to be. Humble, redeemed, but also bold, in HIS name.
