Years ago I started writing a book comparing my earthly father with my Heavenly Father. I shared with some friends of mine and was told by them to stop wasting my time because there was already books out there on that subject. Not at all what I was expecting from them. That just added to my negative self talk and I felt even more worthless. Someone besides my dad saying that I can't.... Then I remembered what one of my Jr. High teachers shared in Bible class one day, that if we ever let other people's opinion of us tear us down to remember that it is what God says that matters and the best place to see what God has to say about you is Psalms 139. I started reading it day and night for a whole week and wrote down what God said about me. Wow! There is a lot in that chapter that God says about us.
My Dad Anger, Lies, Says I'm not good, Says that I can't do anything right. Blames me for his mistakes | My Heavenly Father Loving, Forgiving, Encouraging, On my side, Knows me better than anyone else, Accepts me for who I am, |
I am so glad for my Heavenly Father and getting to know what He says about me is more important that what anyone else has to say about me. So take some time and see what God has to say a our you in Psalm 139.
