Super Christian Girl Problems

Seriously, your God will NEVER leave you.  Jesus didn’t die for some of your sins, he died for all of them.  He has redeemed you and you are redeemed.  You have a new identity and you’re washed in the blood of Jesus that was spilled for you out of his love.  You are eternally loved by the God of the universe, nothing can change that.  Here are some verses to back me up :)  Keep these handy, I have them saved as a file on my computer, and open it when you feel hopeless!  

• 
  Psalm 37:23-28 - If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever. 
• John 6:37-40 - “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” 
• John 10:26-30 - “You do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” 
• John 14:16 - And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. 
• Romans 6:3-5, 8 - Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection…Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 
• Romans 8:28-39 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
• Romans 14:4 - Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 
• I Corinthians 1:7-9 - Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 
• Ephesians 1:13-14 - And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory. 
• Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. 
• Ephesians 4:30 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 
• Hebrews 8:12 - “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” 
• Hebrews 13:5-6 - Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 
• 1 Peter 1:3-5 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade-kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 
• 1 John 5:13 - I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 
• 1 John 5:18 - We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. 
• Jude 24-25 - To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. 
• John 3:14-16 - “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” 
• John 5:24 - “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.” 
• Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
• Romans 8:1 - Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 
• Romans 11:29 - …for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 
• Philippians 1:6 - …being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 
• 2 Timothy 1:9 - …who has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. 
• Hebrews 7:24-25 - …but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 
• Hebrews 9:11-12 - When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

To think that your sins are greater than the power of Jesus’s beautiful, redeeming, eternal sacrifice is a ridiculous thought.  You cannot entertain those kinds of ideas.  Here’s my prayer to all you girls tonight who are struggling with the idea that God has not forgiven all your sins!

Jesus I come to you as a daughter of the King and I thank you for your redeeming power.  Thank you that you are powerful and glorious and holy but you still chose us and desire us.  I pray that we never ever forget that your sacrifice for us was sufficient and eternal.  Thank you that you look at our hearts and not our actions.  Thank you that because we are loved and redeemed by you, it doesn’t matter how many times we fall, you will pick us back up.  Remind us right now, Jesus speak to us about your endless love.  Show us how you see us, redefine the way that we see the gospel.  Forgive us for attempting to belittle your saving powers and bring us back into your graceful light.  Thank you that you reign over everything, over all the earth and everything on it, but you chose fellowship with us.  We are undeserving, but we’ve been given grace anyway.  Continue to bless our faith, and show us the power of your gospel anew every. single. day.  Jesus, your power is unending, and if you chose to save us, then you will save us forever and ever.  Amen.

He is listening.  Christianity isn’t about feelings, just because you feel like he’s not listening doesn’t mean that he isn’t.  He sees your heart and he sees that you desire purity and that’s all he needs to see.  You want to be done with your sin and you’re trying your best and that’s what Jesus wants to see.  Remember?  God looks at the heart.  (1 Samuel 16:7)

Keep going lovie!
