Worthy
I am the sort of person who tends to get caught up in a “works mentality” – measuring my worth by what I have done. I was the little girl who wanted approval – to be thought of as a good girl. It mattered very much to my little girl heart what others thought of me. I wanted so much for everyone to like me.

I retain still retain much of that little girl inside this grownup body. I want everyone to be happy with me, and the One topping that list is the Lord. I want to please Him with all my heart. That desire often leads me down the path of good works – attempting to do all I can to insure that I am loved and accepted.

In recent days I have fallen far short of my own expectations – not doing the things I should do and doing those things I shouldn’t. It makes me feel so discouraged and so distant from the Lord. My own unworthiness looms larger than life, and I am left feeling so empty.

With infinite grace and love the Lord drew me aside with the words I had copied down myself some time ago:

The rest of my post is at Laced With Grace today. Please come visit me there.

Blessings,
Linda
