OVERCOMETHELINE - January tour. who do You say i am?

last week i jumped on a fast train and downloaded a few Beth Moore ebooks that were free, into my kindle app and i truly believe now, that my first pick Believing God was not a coincidence.
Those two words: Believing God stuck out to me loudly and i immediately began to read it.
sidenote. get the book. it's great and has been speaking such truth to my heart.

i highlighted, jotted notes down, and nodded through every page of the book. then chapter seven wrecked me. 'believing you are who God says you are.'

word by word, i began to see myself in that chapter. i believe that God says He is who He is, and that He can do what He says He can do. but. when it comes to me. when it comes to seeing myself, and really examining myself, i determine that i am not worthy, and quickly shy away from stepping confidently before Him, because..

maybe God can't use me as i have too much that needs repair.
maybe God doesn't want to restore me, because we keep falling.
maybe God has chosen others better to have their dreams fulfilled, because they're better Christians and they have better resources.
maybe we just are doing something wrong, and that's why are prayers are not being heard. maybe.

well, those thoughts don't sound like me coming boldly to the throne. those thoughts keep me from praying boldly before the throne and cowardly listening to the enemy instead.
it keeps me from reaching a level of extraordinary obedience, to reflect Jesus himself.

while the enemy tells me i'm not good enough and can't be deemed worthy, God tells me otherwise and i pray that God will continue reminding me, 'lest i forget. that i am worthy, not because of what i can bring or what i have done, but because of what He's done. and my past doesn't define me, my fears don't define me.
He defines me. His grace in giving His Son for me because HE LOVES ME, defines me.
i am worthy because of Him.

'In love I am blessed, chosen, adopted, favored, redeemed, and forgiven.' Believing God by Beth Moore.
