I am learning more and more how much I need to lean on God and trust in His faithfulness and provision. I am constantly being made aware of my inadequacies and shortcomings, but He continues to enter in and remind me of how He sees me. I am loved. I am beautiful. I am HIS.
Last night was a perfect example of one of the many ways God speaks to me and reveals His truths to my heart.

Lately, my big struggle has been guilt. Guilt ranging from the lie I told when I was 6 years old, to the mean comment I made to my sister yesterday. Constant whispers of shame mingled with frustration kept me up late into the night. Try as I might, I couldn't find peace.
I turned to Psalm 103. How fitting verse 12 was! As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12
Upon reading this verse, I felt immediate peace. I felt my guilt shrink in my chest. I read the verse again and again. After a few minutes I was able to sleep peacefully and while guilt still occasionally threatens me, I have found the truth and Satan's lies will no longer control me.
