Give yourself a little grace.

For ALL the moments.

This very moment.

The moment tomorrow when you are working on accounting homework.

The moment on Saturday when you find yourself struggling with something you swore you wouldn’t struggle with again.

The moment on Sunday when you can’t find Jesus in the midst of a sermon.

Satan wants us to feel shame. He wants us to feel the burden of the things we are struggling with.

But here’s the good news:

Grace is always available to us, even when it is hard to allow ourselves to accept it.

God wants us to give ourselves & the other people in our lives grace.

Even when we may not want to.

God has had to teach me a lot about grace, because it is something I haven’t given myself much of recently.

It’s been a vicious cycle of feeling like I haven’t been doing a good enough job at life recently.

But who am I to dictate if I’m doing “good enough?”

& what exactly is “good enough?” I feel like that is something that I am always striving to reach. But I never can quite get there. There is always something else that can be done.

But…

God isn’t keeping tabs on how much I am able to accomplish everyday.

And He doesn’t want me to carry around any shame about the things I am struggling with.

He doesn’t want you to either.
