A Change of Heart

There are so many things I need to learn about who Christ is, but my goal for this next week is going to be to learn about his love. Both His love for me as His child, but also the way that He loves all people. I seem to really struggle with judging other people, but that also is stemming from me judging myself. I base how good of a person I am based on what I look like, and I support this by looking at what others look like and comparing. I want to begin to learn that who we are has nothing to do with what we look like, but more to do with who we really are as a person. Right now, I don't like the person that I am. But God put me on this earth for a reason, and I want to find what that is. I want to begin to see myself the way that He sees me, not only so I can love myself, but so that I can love others.

Today I learned a valuable bible verse:

Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

This is something I struggle with in many ways. But today, this applies to believing that I have been given God's forgiveness, and that he loves me no matter what I've done.
