I am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.... Guest post by Hannah Morgan
29 January
It seems that whenever I sit down to write anything, I begin and before
long I deem it unworthy to share with anyone. I am determined to stop
this habit. I don't know where it really came from. Everyone in my life
has only encouraged me, and told me how much talent YHVH has blessed me
with. Yet I still doubted.
I have also found that when I really stop to think about myself and
who I am, what I am, I don't see much and purposely stop thinking about
myself because I feel just as I described my writing. Unworthy,
insignificant, unable to meet the standard. Once again, I have no idea
where this came from. I have ALWAYS been raised in the beautiful and
unconditional love of my Savior. I believe in what He gave for my
unworthy soul, my insignificant heart. Yet I just couldn't seem to
accept it.
Then one day I heard something.
I was sitting lazily in my living room, half listening to a
teaching, when I snapped to attention. The teacher was explaining how
YHVH's words and the enemy's words are like two "radio stations" that we
listen to. One speaks life, the other speaks death. Both have the power
to sway your thoughts.
When we listen to YHVH's words, there is no room for the enemy's
darkness. But if we listen to darkness, it is harder to hear the truth.
It was so simple. I had forgotten everything I had learned
about YHVH's unconditional love and replaced it with one, dark phrase:
I'm not good enough. All I had to do was listen to the beautiful words
that YHVH proclaims all throughout his book.
Psalms 139:14 - I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made...
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Yeshua died for us.
Psalms 90:14 - Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Psalms 117:2 - For great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of YHVH endures forever. Praise YHVH.
Psalms 136:23 - He remembered us in our low estate, His love endures forever.
1 John 4:16 - And so we have come to know
and love the love that YHVH has for us. YHVH is love; and those who
remain in this love remain united with YHVH, and YHVH united with them.
I could go on and on. My point, self-doubt is a choice. But I
choose life. It is just that simple. If we trust in our majestic FATHER,
the one who holds and comforts us when we are broken, and His value of
us, we can be free from the voice of our enemy. Even as I write this I
am doubting myself and my words. But this time I am grabbing hold of my
Fathers truth and moving forward. Simply because I am free. I hope that
this message will encourage others who might doubt themselves. I hope
that they will realize that YHVH's view of us does not change like ours
does and that it is never to late to accept it, so that you, whoever you
are, can be free.
Colossians 1:13-14 - For he has rescued us
from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the
Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, forgiveness of sin.
