I feel I could read this ten times to let it soak into my spirit, yet I trust the Lord is supernaturally writing it on my heart! I barely remember my daddy’s open arms of love since he went to heaven when I was just eight and I lost that childlike comprehension of love! Somewhere, I lost it and slowly the Lord brought it back to me! Only now have I seen that a thread of unworthiness ande abuse gave root to anorexia, self hatred, door mat syndrome(I made that one up, but it’s pretty self explanatory), enabling, and not standing for what is mine from calvary!! Recently, He exploded my mirage of self doubt and insecurity with His reflection of love! I am passionate about seeing others worth and value until He dared me and He asked me to turn that mirror around! How often are we our own worst enemy?! How often do we just simply not open His gift of beauty and freedom to come boldly and embrace His amazing LOVE?!! I can not believe I read this today!! WOW!! Thank you!

This was wonderful to read at the end of my day yesterday. I love how truth (that almost seems too good to be true) can set the religious mind free and bring life and inner transformation! Thank You

“Those who do manage to make it to God’s throne slink in on their bellies, laden with guilt and an overwhelming sense of unworthiness”

Too many times…too many times.

“I have purposed never again to insult the enormity of Jesus’ sacrifice by approaching God on the basis of my own worthiness.”

My goodness! I stopped when I read this line. I saw my own purposeful pride powerfully on display every time I’ve felt like this. Who am I to assume my feelings of myself are worth more than how Jesus sees me, especially in light of the price He paid so that I wouldn’t ever have to live a day in guilt?

This is one blog that I will be reading over and again until it’s settled firmly in my heart. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this with us!

“I have purposed never again to insult the enormity of Jesus’ sacrifice by approaching God on the basis of my own worthiness.” What a statement! Looks like I have another book to add to my list of future reads! Inspiring truth! Thanks for sharing!

David,

I wanted to thank you on behalf of all the DIB writers for this heart awakening blog. I know personally this teaching shifted and changed my paradigm of thinking when it came to prayer. I simply ask (even though He knows all things), because people in a relationship talk to each other … this daughter desires that kind of relationship with her Daddy God!

Again, thank you for taking the time to share with our readers such a poignant message, inspiring us to heart confidence.

With sincere thankfulness,
Marissa Star

thank you so much for this teaching! I love a good visual! I picture myself, in the early hours of the morning, (after I put my coffee down) running with reckless abandon into my Fathers arms. And the title is so perfect, Heart Confidence! We have all we need thru Jesus and in Gods Word- but your right, sometimes our sin, mess ups if you will, stop us from fully entering in. We think maybe the Lord is tired of hearing us repent for the millionth time- our ‘disqualifying thoughts’ pop up! But God wants us to confess it, then enter into His forgiveness and commune with Him. Heart confidence- thank you so much! :}

Thank you! This spoke so deeply to my heart and it encouraged me. I hope that I will fully grasp this wisdom you’ve shared and put it in to practice on a far more regular basis. Thank you so much.

This is exactly what my heart needed! Thanks for sharing! I actually ran like a little girl last week to my Daddy and felt His love and warm embrace. This opens my eyes to what my Daddy has been showing me.
