This verse stood out to me during family Bible study tonight, so I thought I'd share.

[*********]

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. - 1 John 3:20

 

Well AMEN FOR THAT is all I can say.

 

My heart has been condemning me lately. I'm not 'enough'. Not a good enough child of God. Not a patient enough wife. Not a devoted enough mother. Not a good enough housekeeper. You get the idea. I'm a failure, a loser. Really, how could the Lord love me anyway? I'm a filthy wretch of failures.

 

And yet.

 

God is GREATER than my heart, and HE knoweth all things.

 

Just thought maybe someone else needed to remember that, too. :)

That's a great verse and timely reminder. It's so easy to get caught up in trying to DO and BE what everyone around us needs instead of resting in Him.

Hello,

I'm brand new here, but I wanted to say thanks for the reminder. Another verse I like to remember when I'm in a beat myself up mindset is Romans 8:1

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. NIV I'm so far from perfect, but I'm so glad that I have the love of Christ to cover my imperfections.

Wonderful reminder.....I struggle with this anyway, but recently, it's been especially bad. Thank you!

Thank you...

I was on my way to church this past Sunday and a million condemnations were running through my head. I had a moment where I felt that God was the one doing the condemning. Then all of a sudden, I said to myself, "God is NOT condemning me. It's my sin that is condemning me." Puts it in a whole new perspective!

 

Lord have mercy!
