Less Than

FeelinG DEFEATED?!?

FeelinG like you just can’t get RIGHT?!?

Feeling like all YOU ever do is screw uP?!? 

Are you just simply tired from the fight? 

Weary from the waging wars, raging, all around you? 

And you feel not good enough? You feel LESS than? 

I have news. Not good news, not great news and not even just awesome news. I have the BEST News EVER!

That News is Jesus. 

Romans 7:19-25

PauL, and every human being and follower of Jesus Christ, can relate to these feelings! Keep your head uP and read verse 25 over, over and OVER! 

“Thanks be to God, Who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!!” 🙏

In verse 24, PauL laments what a WRETCHED man he is . . . Who will rescue me he asks!! The next verse he gives THE Answer. Beautiful and honest. Raw and simple. Powerful beyond measure!

Jesus WILL rescue me . . . 

Verse 24 HOPELESSness . . . Verse 25 HOPE!! 

Be encouraged! No web is TOO biG! No mistake is TOO final. No screw-up, or sin, TOO much to overcome! 

The One, who is GREATER than ALL came to die for all the LESS thans!! Our decisions, poor choices, people, disobedience and our imperfect nature will all make us feel LESS THAN, but He is the God of the . . . 

NOT QUITES 

CAN’T GET RIGHTS 

MISFITS

OUTCASTS 

ORPHANS 

And LESS THANS . . . 

For that we should REJOICE! 

Jesus, help me to seek You more than LESSER things and ALL of LIFE is exactly that— lesser things. PhiL. 3:8-9.
