Have you ever felt unworthy? Maybe you thought you weren’t deserving of God’s goodness because you know your past for what it is and are having trouble forgiving yourself, so how could you even begin to fathom that the God of the universe who created you and knows your every move – past, present, and future – would forgive you and deem you a worthy son or daughter?
I know what that’s like. I know what it’s like to realize the “good life” you thought you were living wasn’t so good after all. I know what it’s like for God to set a fire in your soul, a fire that burns for Him and seeks deeper meaning and purification of heart and mind, but yet to feel as though He’ll always be at an arm’s length because you’ve already screwed up. No, it’s not logical thinking, but all I can say is that somewhere in my mind I knew that wasn’t the reality of God, but yet in my heart a disconnect existed that wouldn’t quite allow me to believe I was deserving of all His love. And so I felt unworthy, unable to accept what He really might want to give me.
Well, you can rest easy because God will NEVER be outdone.
No matter the number of mistakes you make or the gravity of Your mistakes, God will outdo your sin with His incredible mercy and love if you genuinely seek it. God loves a repentant heart. Trust in Him. Trust in His goodness. Trust in His love and rest in it. Jesus, I Trust in You.
“There is nothing more man needs than Divine Mercy – that love which is benevolent, which is compassionate, which raises man above his weakness to the infinite heights to the holiness of God.”
-Pope John Paul II-
