About a week ago, I was lending an ear to a

young lady going through the process of

transitioning from brokenness to wholeness.

On this particular day, she was having a hard

time believing that she deserved to be made

whole, and was ready to throw in the towel.

“I want to give up” she said, “why is it so

easy for me to believe for others, but so

hard for me to believe for myself?”

She sounded just like me about a year ago.

Ready to call it quits because I could not find

the courage to believe that I deserved to be

made whole and have an abundant, joyful

life in Christ.

Now I could freely encourage and believe for my fellow sisters, but when it came to me, not so

much.  But why not?  Why couldn’t I have that same enthusiasm for myself?

I did not realize it then, but I now know that I simply could not get over myself.  I could not see

past my issues and struggles.  I refused to look beyond my faults.  I convinced myself that I could

never be more than a woman filled with guilt and shame, and did not deserve redemption.

The adversary did not need to use anyone else to work against me because I had become my own

worst enemy, fighting against myself.  Whenever I would gain a small ounce of belief, I’d instantly

diminish it with self-demeaning thoughts.
