He is not playing games with you. Your life is working out according to His plan. In Him there is no lack. /// reminding myself of these things, His ways are higher than mine, His plan is happening even when I can’t see it or when I feel like I’m missing out. He is working things out for my good. What He has for me is more than I could ever imagine, and I have some pretty big dreams!
i love you for it. you’ve been gone so long i’ve been raging at the night in all its emptiness, all its nothingness, all its silent, darkened sky. i’ve been searching for the sadist who keeps taking his sweet time to let us see, or let us leave, or let us move on with our lives. now that you’ve finally shown yourself again, i’ve got my fists raised high for the bliss it is to finally have a christ to crucify (and then to kiss). you let me lose my mind and i loved you for letting me hate you, and i barely recognize the lines the rivers make on the mountain face or the color of your eyes.

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.”
— Brené Brown, Rising Strong
I’m clinging to the promise that the Lord has not finished with me yet. I will walk through the hard times, through the struggle and the pain, because I know I am not alone in those times. And I know that the Lord is working all things together for my good, even when I can’t see it, and when I struggle to believe it. He is not finished with me.
To my friends: I want to apologise for those times when I said I would pray for you and I didn’t. The times that you asked to have coffee, and I was too ‘busy’. The moments that I could’ve asked you how you were doing; but I didn’t because I was afraid of your answer. When I wasn’t the friend that you needed me to be. To my family: I’m sorry for the times I yelled back at you in anger, when you were doing the best you could. For the moments when I didn’t give you a chance to explain, when I brushed off your expressions of love for me. I’m sorry for not taking the time to try to answer your questions about this God that I know. To my acquaintances and the people I pass on the street: I’m sorry for turning away, for rushing past and trying not to see your brokenness. I’m sorry for the stares, and the judgements I formed, even though we’ve never met. I’m sorry for the times when I’ve said, verbally or not; ‘I’m Christian’ but I haven’t acted that way. I’m sorry for not loving, forgiving, and serving you the way that He does me. I’m just like you, a sinner, with struggles and faults, I’m sorry for ever holding myself above. His grace and mercy are the only reasons I’m still here, asking for your forgiveness, saying that I’m a sinner and I’m starting fresh, trying each day, not to say that ‘I’m Christian’, but to love, serve and forgive like Christ has done to me.

@jaminato posted the first part of this sentence and it hit me hard. He loves me without needing me - there is nothing that I bring to the table. Yet He chooses me, He fights for me, He calls me His daughter, He gave his son to give me freedom. He needs me for nothing, yet He loves me anyway.
Lord, I can’t do this without you.
You are an instrument of God. He will use you to make a difference in this world. He will comfort you and give you compassion so that you may give comfort to others.

Beating up on yourself = a LACK of humility
inahbunag asked: How should I get to the place where I love myself? I think that’s the problem with me sometimes.
Unka Glen answered: That’s easy, just receive some humility from God.
Now, that’s maybe not the answer you were expecting, given there’s a chance that humility is what you thought you were doing, when you were beating up on yourself. But let’s take some of these negative things you might have been saying to yourself, and see what a humble person might say in that same situation.
Negative thought: I should be a better Christian than what I am.
Humble Christian: It’s amazing that I’m able to act as good as I do, given how much I crave all kinds of sin.
Negative thought: Why do I have all these lustful desires? All I can think about is committing one sin or another.
Humble Christian: Thank you Lord, that even though my flesh is totally pulling me in the wrong direction, that you’ve given me the strength to stay on the right path for another day.
Negative thought: I should feel confident that I can accomplish all these goals, but sometimes I have doubts, and then I hate myself for having those doubts.
Humble Christian: I know for sure that I will fail without you Lord. I am not up to the task, and we both know it. You put me in over my head, so I would be aware of how much I need you. I can’t do this Lord, but you can do it through me, so help me get out of the way.
Negative thought: How could I have backslid like this? I thought all this was behind me!
Humble Christian: Well Lord, this comes as no surprise given my past, and I’m sure you saw it coming, so what did I miss? How did I leave myself open to this? I know you were trying to warn me to go another way, so thank you for that…and I’m sorry for not listening.
Negative thought: I should be more committed to God. I lack that sense of zeal!
Humble Christian: Hey Lord, I feel like I’m pretty sloppy and all over the place with this Christian thing, and most of it looks like a real mess to me, but I do love you. I love you so much Lord, and I know, one day I’ll learn to do better, but right here, right now, it’s just super-important that I tell you how much I love you.
As you can see, that sense of “should” shows up a lot in those negative statements. A sense that you should be much better than what you are, that can only be based on an inflated and unrealistic view of yourself, one that you aren’t living up to. But in the humble points of view, there’s a note of thankfulness and joy behind a focus on God, rather than self.
The more you focus on God, and not yourself, the more you’ll be able to see yourself anew in His eyes. At that point insecurity, self-hate, and low self-esteem will be a thing of the past.
God calls us to be patient, not only toward with others but with ourselves, with our pasts, with being a work in progress.

He will only say “no” when saying “yes” will violate your purpose. Sometimes the Lord waits on the answer because he wants your answer to gain interest. If he says “no” a better “yes” is coming.
