Relationships And Responsibilities
        Do that! Go there! Be this!
    When expactations overwhelm,
stay close to the only one who matters.

    Stop judging and evaluating yourself, for this is not your role. Above all, stop comparing yourself whith other people. this produces feelings of pride or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both. I lead
each of My children along a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him on her. Comparing is not only wrong: it is also meaningless.
    Don't look for affirmationin the wrong places: your own evaluations, or those of other people. the only source of real affirmation is My unconditional Love. Many believers percieve Me as an unpleasable Judge, angrily searching out there faults and failures. Nothing could be farther from the truth! I died for your sins, so that I might cloth you in My garments of salvation. This is how I see you: radiant in My robe of righteousness. When I discipline you, It is never in anger or disgust;it is to prepare you for face-to-Face fellowship with Me throughout all eternity. Immerse yourself in My loving Presence. Be receptive to My affirmation, which flows continually from the throne of grace.
