[...] Believing a lie (Rediscovering the church – Peter Pollock – @peterpollock) [...]

For the last few months at church recently the pastor has insisted time and time and time and time again on bringing the message of God's amazing, all-encompassing, overwhelming GRACE. Why does he keep insisting on bringing the same message? Because we haven't got it yet! We still keep trying to perform to earn God's love. We don't need to. He really does love us. Me. You. Always. For ever. And never stops. Why do we find it so hard to accept that? Sometimes I feel that God is pouring his grace and love down but I have my umbrella up. I just need to let that love and grace pour in and revive me. May you, Peter, and all reading this, know the inner reality of His amazing grace and love today and always. This is truth.

I think there are more of us that understand than you probably realize. We're like one big crazy support group for each other and I for one have been to more than one 'session'. Hang in there Peter – totally praying.

Peter, you are loved and blessed. I’ll keep praying. I understand some of what you’re saying. I have felt this way about much in my life and the things I didn’t feel were failures, I feared would fail at some point. I still struggle with this, but I had a turning point several years ago by accepting that God loved me. I admitted to God that I didn’t see how He could because I was a mess, failure, screw-up, etc. What I heard in my spirit broke me, “I love you before you ever did any of that and sent Jesus.” I saw clearly (seemingly for the first time) that He knew every weakness and failure before I ever did any of them and because He loved me/us, He sent Jesus. I have to fight to hold onto that revelation, but I know it’s truth. Some days are definitely harder than others and I still mess up a whole lot.

All that to say, God knows and you will find victory. I hope you’ll accept some of it today. Blessings, Peter!

Peter, I beg of you, read Seth's "Linchpin". It's called resistance my friend, because you're an artist and artists need shut down because it's war. I'll send it to you if you give me your address. We want to die because of the pain; we don't understand fully who/who's we are. That's the beginning of the lie.
