Overcoming Self Doubt
The insidious whisper slithers in: “You’re insignificant. A speck in the vastness, one among billions, utterly unremarkable.” That’s the lie. But truth, ancient and unwavering, thunders in response.
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:4β5, NLT)
You are not a random occurrence. You are a deliberate creation, chosen, loved, and assigned a purpose. Your life is not a footnote; it’s a headline in God’s grand narrative. Embrace the destiny He has meticulously crafted for you. Feel the weight of His pleasure as He gifts you with purpose.
Challenges will arise. Mountains will loom. Storms will rage. Moments of doubt will attempt to drown your faith. But remember, the architect of the cosmos is not only present but actively working on your behalf, weaving generations of preparation into your present moment.
God breathed life into you because He had an extraordinary future planned. Rest in that assurance. Sleep peacefully, knowing you are not alone. You are a vital piece of a divine design, a legacy stretching across time. Remain faithfully, and you will witness the unfolding of God’s generational masterpiece.
Father, in a world rife with insecurity, I anchor myself in the unshakeable truth that You chose me before time began. Thank You for the profound purpose woven into my existence. I believe, wholeheartedly, that You delight in granting me an amazing future. Grant me the strength to be useful, honorable, and compassionate. May my life reflect Your love, making a difference in the world. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
