As soon as I clicked “send” I knew I had to share this with more than just the one dear friend . . . and it’s something I need to remember, too.  So here you go:

​At some point, you will see how your best intentions are still harmful at times. I believe 100% that people are totally and incurably wrecked by generations of sin. We 100% need God to intervene and help us if we ever want to be truly good.

So when I start to doubt myself, I find my hope in God and His work in me that he promises to complete (Philippians 1:6). Maybe I am no good, but that’s okay — as long as I continue to hope in God and follow Him, He won’t allow me to be my worst – not even close. And the truly amazing thing is that even He did allow me to be a complete mess and horrible, it wouldn’t make me any less loved.

You’re loved, no matter what your intentions are.
