Coming from within

This morning I felt the Lord speak to my heart...

"Allow the Lord to convict, but please don't condemn yourself!!!"

It's so simple. However, having struggled a grand amount with being hard on myself, this is a statement that constantly needs to be reinforced.

There is such power in allowing God to do the work. It comes from within--not from without. Just as a flower blooms and is opened up to show the world its beauty, so too should conviction gently break down whatever needs to be broken down and lead us closer to God.

Conviction lifts us higher, but condemnation puts us deep into the ground.
