Your own worst critic

Your own worst critic by Alive to God

Often we can be so hard on ourselves. We blame ourselves for things that happened. We blame ourselves for success lost or opportunities missed. We often harp on our mistakes or things we should have done when God sees things so differently. God sees all things you have been through and perhaps failed in and He wants to take all those things and work them together for good!

Romans 8:28 All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

You may say: ‘I could have, I should have, I would have,’ but God says I will take your could haves’, should haves’ and would haves’ and I will still give them value by using them for something good! With God we can know what it means to not have regrets. We all have regrets, but God can even use them. Your misery could still become your ministry. Your problems could still become a potential victory, and your pain could become an area of power!

Give yourself the room to make mistakes. The right to make mistakes is part of life. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Failing is part of discovering what God has. The Bible says we prophesy in part. We are never 100% correct, but that does not mean we do not try.

What we regret the most is not the things we failed at, but we regret the things we never attempted. We must also give ourselves time! We have to face so many things in life and we often do not give ourselves time to adjust or make the necessary changes.
