unworthiness

When you self-punish for your sin you stop looking at Me and look only at yourself.  You stop listening to Me and listen to yourself. Self-condemnation only leads to more pride, more self-righteousness, more judgmentalism, and more self-centeredness. You cannot follow Me when you take your focus off Me to stare at your sin and unworthiness. Focus on My Love. Romans 7: 24-25  Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
