I like who I am. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas that could use refinement. I could go for the physical. I need to lose weight. To do that I need will power. More than that, I need to believe I can do it. Right there, I touched on what I need to change – belief in myself.

For too many years of my life I believed what others said about me. I was afraid to do anything for fear of rejection. I was afraid to open my mouth for fear of being shot down. The day came when I stood up for myself. I didn’t believe in myself yet, but I was on the right path.

I don’t completely believe in me. I still fall back on those ancient beliefs that I’m not good enough.

In many ways, I’m not. I’m not good enough to go to heaven. No one is. However, I am good enough to receive salvation and accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord. Believing in Jesus is good. However, I need to believe in myself and what Jesus says about me. With years of listening and believing everything bad about me, it’s hard to believe Jesus will do for me what He promised me as His child.

That’s what I need to change about myself. I need to believe everything Jesus believes about me. Not what I’ve believed my entire life. I’m on the right path.
