Dear Me...

STOP. Stop, stop, stop Katy. Stop, shut up, and listen to the truth. You are not a failure. You do not screw up, mess up, or somehow destruct everything you attempt or touch. That is Satan speaking. That is him whispering lies into the insecurities that already lie in your heart. He is drawing on your struggles and amplifying them, telling you they are true, speaking lies into your ears and filling your thoughts.

Stop.

Listen to the truth.

You are a child of God. Loved by Him more than you can possibly imagine. You are wanted, loved, accepted, and needed. Sure, you fail. Yes, you mess up. Yeah, you can say dumb things and make mistakes. But everyone does! And those failings do not make you a failure. They do not make your life meaningless or worthless.

And here are some more truths...

You are a friend of Jesus (John 15:15)

You have been justified, by faith, not works (Romans 5:1)

You are united with God, one with Him in spirit. You have been bought by the blood and love of Jesus and you are His, part of His body of believers (1 Corinthians 6:17-20, and 12:27)

You are chosen by God, adopted into His family, loved and wanted (Ephesians 1:3-8)

You have already been forgiven of all the sins you have committed, and the ones you have yet to commit (Colossians 2:9-10)

You are free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-2)

Your life has a plan, designed by God. He will complete the work He has started in you. Good work (Philippians 1:6)

You are not to be afraid, but be full of a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

You are born of God, Satan has no true reign over you. You're God's. (1 John 5:18)

You have been chosen to do God's work. He will give you the strength to do it (John 15:16)

You can do anything through Christ who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13)

You are weak, but Jesus is strong. And His grace and strength is more than enough for you. When you are weak, He is strong (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)

You are Jesus'. You are loved by your very best friend. You can never be loved, wanted, or desired more than He loves, wants, and desires you. You are His child. He has a plan for your life, a design specially written out for you. And no matter how many times you mess up, He will always love you. You will never fail too badly for Him. And you are not a failure. You are a child of a King.

Love,
