Sometimes we have negative feelings that may be founded on our
upbringing, what is happening in our lives, how we are being treated and/or how
we see ourselves.
Did you ever feel unworthy, or
insignificant, or unloved or rejected? Well you are not alone. So how does God
address our feelings? By pointing out the truth and as Jesus said: “Then
you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
The best way to combat these emotions is to return to The Word of God
and see what He says about us or to us.
·
Whenever we feel
unworthy let us remember that God made us in His image, so we
are precious:
Then
God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness”
وقال
الله نعمل الانسان على صورتنا كشبهنا
Genesis 1: 26
· Whenever we feel insignificant let us remember
that we are very significant because we can be used by God to accomplish His
glory:
And
whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
وكل
ما عملتم بقول او فعل فاعملوا الكل باسم الرب يسوع شاكرين الله والآب به
Colossians 3:17
·
Whenever we feel
unloved let us remember that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to
die for us and grant us everlasting life.
16 For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
have everlasting life.
16 لانه هكذا احب الله العالم حتى بذل ابنه الوحيد لكي لا يهلك كل
من يؤمن به بل تكون له الحياة الابدية.
John 3:16
What Jesus did for us by dying for us is the ultimate type of love
because Jesus said:
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his
friends.
ليس لاحد حب اعظم من هذا ان يضع احد نفسه لاجل احبائه .
John 15:13
·
Whenever we feel
rejected let us remember that we are
chosen by God and are precious to God.
Coming
to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and
precious.
الذي
اذ تأتون اليه حجرا حيّا مرفوضا من الناس ولكن مختار من الله كريم
1 Peter 2:4
Let us remember that Jesus prayed for us and asked God to sanctify us by
His truth. Truth about us is what is important, not our feelings.
Sanctify
them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
قدسهم
في حقك. كلامك هو حق
John 17:17
I
invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and
for Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. Father, whenever I feel bad or
depressed let me always remember Your truths, Your words, Your love, and Your
promises. Thank You Father that You created me according to Your image and Your
likeness. Strengthen me to be used by you for Your glory. Thank You Father that
You consider me a precious stone and an adopted child of God. Sanctify me by
Your truth Father and do a ‘cut and paste’
in me Lord; ‘cut’ these negative feelings and let the Holy Spirit ‘paste’ Your
truth and promises deep into my heart and my spirit. God I praise You, glorify You and lift You up on high. I thank You and
adore You. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Your only begotten Son Jesus, I pray. I declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, to Him be the power, the glory, the majesty,
the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, and unto ages of all ages.
Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
