I’m becoming more like this everyday.
You see Satan uses guilt to strip away our hope. He shows us our mistakes and tells us we’re a joke. I used to sit and mope like what’s the point and all. If I’m a Christian why is it that every day I seem to fall. But I ain’t known that all my sins were nailed upon the cross. I found out in chapter 2 in the book of Colossians. See the devils a liar yeah he is an accuser. He tells me I’m worthless, he says I’m a loser. But now I refuse to let him lead me wrong. Reading the word in the morn got me feeling strong. I found my worth in Christ and I’m pursuing truth. A living testimony so you can do it too.

Most of my Christian life I’ve been making the same mistake over and over and over. I keep putting my confidence in my discipline, in my good intentions, in my knowledge of the Bible, in order to produce love for God. I always end up in legalism and self-righteousness when I do this. One day the Lord interrupted all of this. He said to me, ‘If you ever hear me say to you, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant,’ it won’t be because you were a good follower, it will be because my Son is a good leader. Put your confidence in His ability to lead, not in your ability to follow.’
