Do Not Diminish God in You!

Do Not Diminish God in You!

Do you have difficulties trusting that God really loves you? Don’t let that kind of doubts eat you up. Take God and his promises seriously. Because he is really serious about loving and caring for you. When you doubt God, you diminish God in your life. And when we diminish him, we diminish ourselves at the same time. Because in Him we find our true selves. Be everything God created you to be, exceptional in every sense!

So cut off all the doubts from your life. Bring them to God and let him deal with them. Don’t nurture the doubts, don’t believe the lies of the enemy. Because the goal of our enemy is to diminish God in all of us. We don’t want that. We want God to increase in our lives. That happens when we trust God, when we receive his abundant grace, when we embrace his love for us.

“Don’t be bluffed into silence by the threats of bullies. There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands. “What’s the price of a pet canary? Some loose change, right? And God cares what happens to it even more than you do. He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! So don’t be intimidated by all this bully talk. You’re worth more than a million canaries. (Matthew 10: 28-31, MSG)

God cares for you down to the last detail! How amazing is that! You’re worth more than a million canaries. How wonderful is that! Embrace it! Rejoice! And put that overflowing love in action. Don’t let the world intimidate you or silence you. Don’t let the world make you so busy that you don’t have time for the most important thing in life: a relationship with God Almighty. Immerse yourself in praying and studying the Scriptures, the only way to keep the doubts away and your faith flowing. Let’s keep faith but not just to ourselves. Let’s pass it on!

 

Gracious God,
We bring you all our doubts.
Take away all that diminish you in our lives.
May you increase in our lives.
Enable us to truly receive your love and grace.
Help us to pass it on to others.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Q4U: Why is it hard for you to believe that you’re cherished by God?

Be blessed, my fellow pilgrim, as you celebrate and pass on God’s extraordinary love!

  1. I am so guilty of diminishing the POWER, MIGHT, and FAITHFULNESS of my God so many times. Doubt have creeped in and taken over. Mathew 10:28-31 in the Message translation has blessed me today.
