In today’s day and age, it is incredibly easy for us to misplace our worth.
Society has trained us to look to ourselves as our own measure of value
It has taught us to rely on our own strength and power to go through life, and obviously, when we do this we fail time and time again. We become burdened of our sin and a lot of times we even become ashamed to come to our father in repentance
The thing is we were never meant to carry this burden, we were never meant to be on the spotlight.
In John 13 we see a great example of this. Jesus shows us a perfect picture of sacrifice as he offers to wash the Disciples feet. When He does this Simon Peter refuses to let him do it as he does not see himself worthy of Jesus washing his feet and he was right he didn’t deserve it, but Jesus said to him “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” (John 13:8).
My friends this is a beautiful picture of our own redemption, we need to let Jesus wash us clean and let his righteousness stand for us.
You see the thing is once we are Christians the Lord sees us as righteous because of Jesus sacrifice not because of anything we’ve ever done.
“But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ” – Ephesians 2:13
Friends once we put our faith in Christ we have been washed worthy!
There is nothing we can do to change the view the father has of us. When He sees us he does not identify us by our current struggles or by our past mistakes, He sees the purity and Holiness of His son.
Let us live in that truth and walk in faith by the one who makes us worthy,
Let us rely on Jesus and live everything behind,
Let us be servants,
Who because of His love can love others beyond the human condition.
Love Beyond The Human Condition 
Hi Linda,
Thanks for your post. Your writing is powerful that it renders a great warmth of Jesus’ love. The love of God is incomprehensible that it is beyond human nature. It sympathizes with us no matter who we are now. Though there is nothing good in us, God chose to love us and send his only son for our sins.
In contrast to such a great love, I sense my limitation as a human being that I cannot love my neighbors by myself. I constantly struggle with my pride and judgmental character in prayer and ask God to clear my heart so that his love can be delivered through my life. Still, the humility Jesus showed to his disciples seems never achievable. That is why I want to rely on Jesus, because there is nothing I can do on my own.
