I just stumbled upon this post. (I...Oh my goodness. I just stumbled upon this post. (I'm sure God thinks it's pretty funny that I would act like it's all a big coincidence.) But I can't even count how many times in the last few weeks I've thought 'Becky with baby 1 was never this much of an emotional wreck.' Or 'Becky wih baby 1 never let her house completely fall to pieces like this.' Or 'Becky with baby 1 did not go weeks without having a conversation with her husband because she was falling into bed by the time he gets home' or 'Becky with baby 1 was way more excited than she is with baby 2.' Good grief. Time for some grace.

Above all, stop comparing yourself with other people. This produces feelings of pride or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both. I lead each of My children along a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him or her. Comparing is not only wrong; it is also meaningless.<br /><br />Don’t look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own evaluations, or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is My unconditional Love. Many believers perceive Me as an unpleasable Judge, angrily searching out their faults and failures. Nothing could be farther from the truth! I died for your sins, so that I might clothe you in My garments of salvation. This is how I see you: radiant in My robe of righteousness. When I discipline you, it is never in anger or disgust; it is to prepare you for face-to-Face fellowship with Me throughout all eternity. Immerse yourself in My loving Presence. Be receptive to My affirmation, which flows continually from the throne of grace.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027319969585325643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-67720992678233565762013-02-27T16:20:08.554-08:002013-02-27T16:20:08.554-08:00I so needed to hear this- because 8 month pregnant...I so needed to hear this- because 8 month pregnant Ashley isn't doing as well as post partum baby #1 Ashley. And that sure has made me nervous about post partum baby #2 Ashley. It is always so much easier to give grace to others than it is to ourselves and it is SO NICE to hear we are not alone in our inability. I just love your heart and your writing and your ability to point away from your totally relatable self and straight to the cross. It's really a beautiful example and gift The Lord has given you. And I gotta say, I think post partum baby #4 Jessi is doing pretty awesome.

I needed to hear this. I haven't hit...Oh Jessi. I needed to hear this. I haven't hit that "mom" stage yet (someday soon I hope), but I still struggle with all the same things. I constantly abuse myself mentally and yet, I it doesn't seem to help me change. My whole life has been a struggle of lacking grace toward others. I saw but never so clearly saw the connection between giving myself grace and giving others grace. Thanks for this encouragement. It was so beautifully put!<br />Alesha <3<br />aleshablessed.comAleshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247806446612390802noreply@blogger.com
