Speak Tenderly

So I watched this video my friend Jim told me to check out. YOU SHOULD WATCH IT!

Wow I was just really impacted by it. I can completely identify with so much of it! The one guy says "But God I've let you down so many times" and the other guy (GOD) responds "No, you were never holding me up. I hold you up with my victorious right hand. Don't you forget that in this relationship I hold you up." This really impacted me because so many times I feel like a failure if I don't live up to what I wish I was or something. I question myself, doubt myself, think I could have done so much better with this or that. I look at my failures way too often. This can cause me to be scared when I come to God. So I have been asking God to show me His love and to speak tenderly to me, so that I may know Him as a loving Fathers who is not condemning but loving. SO God show me this in a powerful new way!!!

Also I have been really seeing the places in my life where I want to ask God to change and grow. I need to grow in boldness, compassion, and the list goes on of course!
