Philippians 4:5
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
I am sure if I go back and read over my blog history I will see a theme. I also know I will see that theme because it is still and issue that God is working on with me. That theme is simple. Be gentle to yourself.
This verse states let your gentleness be evident to ALL. Yes, you are included in that ALL. When you are beating yourself up you are beating up on God’s child. Now STOP. . . don’t even think about beating yourself up for beating yourself up. Don’t fall for that rabbit hole Satan is trying to drag you down.
There is a place for tough love. You do need to tell yourself to suck it up and move on sometimes. However, you do that with love. You don’t shame yourself. You don’t hate on yourself. You do what Jesus would do. You give yourself some grace. You dust yourself off, hug yourself and face that world again.
Let your genteleness be evident to even you!
Lord, I need to treat myself with gentleness. I am sorry for beating up on Your child. ~amen
