ASSURANCE! BRING YOUR ATTENTION GENTLY BACK TO ME whenever it starts to
wander. Find relief in the truth that I look for persistence - rather
than perfection - in your walk with Me. Are you amazed at how quickly
and how far your mind can wander from Me? When you recognize this has
happened, don't be shattered by disappointment or distracted by
discouragement. Instead, simply return your attention to Me and to the
truth that I accept you in all your imperfection.
Not only do I accept you as you are, I love you as you are. I died a criminal's death so I could adorn you with My own perfection. That's why bringing your thoughts to Me is so important: It is My perfect righteousness that saves you, and it will never be taken away from you!
You can easily fall prey to self-rejection if you have unrealistic expectations for yourself. When you fail, I want you to bring your focus back to Me gently, without judging yourself. Instead of doing further harm by putting yourself down, persist in setting your sights on Me. I always welcome you back with unfailing Love.
