I came across this quote from a Women's Conference book in one of my notebooks and it comforted me once again. If only I could always remember.....
“God
works through the positive power of His love. When we truly learn to
love God, we learn to love all things – others, ourselves, all
creation, because God is in all, with all, and through all.
We need not be afraid, and we need not hide behind a facade of
performance. When we come to understand this unknown treasure –
the knowledge of who we really are – we will know that we are
entitled to the power that comes from God. It will come when we
ask for it and when we trust his leadership in our lives. Our
efforts should not be to perform or to conform, but to be transformed
by the Spirit...the more overwhelming our tasks are, the more we
understand that there is only One who can help, our Heavenly Father.
Only when we draw unto Him can we learn how real He is, how much He
understands, and how much He is willing to help. He knows that we
are not perfect and that we are struggling; and when we accept
ourselves with our weaknesses in humility, sincerity, and complete
honesty, then He is with us.”
