An Old Note to Myself, and then some.

I ran across this piece of paper while trying to clean off my desk. I had written, "Who am I to stand in  judgement over my own worth, especially in a condemning way? I would NEVER do that to someone else, ever."
The key question, around all these feelings of lack of skills or competencies, self-condemning, the inability to take action on anything, or move forward in any area, ETC, is: CAN I FIX IT? Yes or No? Can I fix it RIGHT NOW? Yes or No?
As an entire issue, NO, I cannot fix this THING right now. It's too huge to take on. It's dragging me down because it's too overwhelming - even too devastating too late in life to FIX.
Ergo, I must PUT IT DOWN, and step back, back off from it. I need to place it,with all my foibles and mess of a life and all my weaknesses, at the feet of the Savior, and consecrate it to Him.
This is how and why:  
27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

  1. I agree that it is overwhelming. Not sure that you should give it up, but placing it at the feet of the Savior is a wonderful idea. How do you do that? (I disagree with the "mess of a life" part. It's a beautiful life compared with what some people have and do continue to go through.)
