” Jesus said: Don’t judge others, and God won’t judge you. Don’t be hard on others, and God won’t be hard on you. Forgive others, and God will forgive you.” Luke 6:37(CEB)
Judging and evaluating yourself is not your role but God’s role. Besides this, stop comparing yourself with other people. Doing this produces a feeling of pride, inferiority, or sometimes a mixture of both. Comparison is not only wrong; it is also meaningless. Don’t look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own evaluations or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is God’s unconditional love. God see you: radiant in His robe of righteousness. So, when He disciplines you, it is never in anger or disgust; it is to prepare you for a face-to-face fellowship with Him throughout all eternity. This week, immerse yourself in His loving presence. Be receptive to affirmation, which flows continually from the throne of grace. May God grant you grace to hear His voice and give you a heart that is receptive to instruction. May you enjoy unfettered communion of the Holy Spirit. May God’s mercy, anointing, and power speak expressly in Jesus’ name.
Welcome to your week of divine affirmation (DA).
