​​“Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes.  This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us. 2 Our faith guarantees us permanent access into this marvelous kindness that has given us a perfect relationship with God. What incredible joy bursts forth within us as we keep on celebrating our hope of experiencing God’s glory!” Romans 5:1,2 (TPT)

Have you ever been so painfully aware of your own shortcoming and mistakes, that when you look in the mirror you can’t find anything good in what, or who, you see? Have others come along and confirmed your deepest feelings and fears—that you don’t measure up; aren’t good enough; done to much; not done enough, and because of that, you can’t see a way for anything to ever change?  Hang on, dear heart, if this is you.  Hold tight to this life-preserver of truth and let it hold you, for you were made perfect, whole and complete, by what Jesus has done for you already.

He took all that was sin scarred and broken, all that was old, weary, and worn, and gave you something brand new. He made you righteous, perfect, complete—He made you as He is—sinless, spotless, whole in every way and that wholeness is available to you each and every day!

Let Him fill up today anything that is lacking with the very substance of Who He is.  There is an endless supply of love and grace, kindness and care that is yours dearest one. As you begin to see yourself as He sees you; as God the Father sees you; joy will replace despair in your eyes too. This has already been given to you, treasured one—a gift of love from the One Who is love, to the one He loves so deeply—that’s you!
