Settle For What I Deserve

What do you deserve out of life? 

You’ve made your mistakes and you’ve done your good deeds.
Have you given value to yourself as having:
  • Earned or deserve failure, punishment, or mistreatment?  
  • Earned or deserve success, reward, or compassionate love?
God outdoes your self-judgment. Whatever you’ve decided was not in humility to God.
Deciding your own fate is exalting of self – it is assigning self-value.   
God’s rightful place is to decide your value! 

Jesus said:
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” 
~ Luke 18:14


You can’t settle for what you think you deserve.  
 
Your view is clouded by external things.
In mercy:
“God does not judge by external appearance.”
~ Galatians 2:6


Humble and naked in the hands of a loving God,
who looks into my heart with great mercy,

Owen <><
