You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin – Psalm 85:2
Do you find yourself saying to yourself that you are not good enough? Do you spend a lot of time comparing yourself to others? Are you always finding fault with yourself? If you can relate, let me ask you: whose standard are you trying to measure up to anyway? Is it yours, others, or God’s standards? The highest standard belongs to God, and it is a standard that God knew that we could never reach. So, He sent His Son to meet that standard on our behalf so that in Him, we meet His standard. What this means is that you have already met the highest standard through Christ. So, take a deep breath and relax. You can stop beating yourself up and start thanking God for the truth that He overlooks our imperfections but looks at Jesus perfection. This should give you the freedom to continue to grow and mature spiritually without the specter of judgement lurking in the shadows.
I will neither be depressed by my shortcomings nor be impressed with my strengths because I owe all I am to God
