When You Fall Short
We are our own worst enemies, and when we fall short, we are harder on ourselves than anyone else could ever possibly be! I know you can relate, as you “beat yourself up” all the time in your mind and in your thoughts, just like I do. We are so unforgiving to ourselves when we truly need forgiveness. God forgives us freely if we ask, and yet here we are holding on to things and hurting ourselves repeatedly by what we are saying with our negative self talk. Would you say this to a friend? All of the thoughts swirling around in your head, all of the times you down yourself for when you’ve fallen short … no, you would NOT say those things to your friend, and if you did, I doubt you would remain friends afterwards.
We need a gentle reminder to be just that with ourselves, GENTLE!More
