Let God Love You Completely and Unconditionally

Authenticity is not just about being honest about who we are, it is also about being vulnerable. This can feel like a terrifying thing but it doesn't have to be terrifying at all. It can actually be very liberating.

It is time as believers we begin to see ourselves the way God sees us. We try too hard to think positive, good vibes only and encourage ourselves to love ourselves better, so that we can in turn love others better. What if the secret was far more simple? What if we just let God love us completely in the unconditional way only He can so that every limiting and negative self-belief we have is melted completely away.

Imposter syndrome is a real thing and almost all of us suffer from it. We look at others as if they have things all figured out and can seamlessly hold it all together because it looks like they do from the outside. However we forget to look at our own lives and realize that we too are presenting an idyllic image of ourselves out to the world.

In fact, we take great care to present the right image. The thing is, each of us knows the truth about our own short-comings, our own fears and the things we don't want the world to see about us. So we secretly feel inadequate and sometimes even disqualified from the things we truly want. We think everyone else has it all together and that if they really saw who we truly are, we would not be loved or accepted and we most certainly wouldn't get that promotion.

This imposter syndrome makes us feel ineligible to move forward, especially in our destiny assignments. It can paralyze us and that makes us feel even worse about ourselves.

Even in seasons where we feel stuck or dry we know deep down that there is no legitimate excuse to not fulfill our purpose. However, when we are caught in the vicious cycle of insecurity, stagnation and self-deprecation we feel powerless to change things.

Most of this inner knowing and negative self-talk happens for us at a subconscious level. Most of the time we can't really articulate why we aren't moving forward we just aren't. We cannot rationally explain why we are coming up to the 13th Monday in 2018 and we keep hitting the same reset button on our goals and dreams every Sunday night, but we do.  

What is the solution? We cannot continue down this same path because if we do we will miss the mark.

So we have to allow God to re-write our programming. We must consciously change our patterns of behaviour and our habits and this can only be accomplished with with purposeful intentionality. We must renew our mind with the word of God and with action. (Rom. 12:2)  

We are the Gatekeepers of this realm!

And as Gatekeepers must keep the gates of our lives and over our sphere of influence. What we don't have to do is make things harder than they need to be. 

We must submit to God's love. We must allow ourselves to feel His love and to embrace His love in our lives. He has confidence in you and He has no fear or anxiety about your ability at all. If you struggle with dueling beliefs about yourself, it is time to consciously and purposefully submit those to him. Surrender and allow the wisdom of God's word to wash over you.

Spend one on one time with the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with the truth of who you are. We have to own our place in this world if we are going to take back our lives, our loved ones and our territory from enemy hands.  

You are a gatekeeper beloved. It's time to own it and stand your ground!
