How to Stop Punishing Yourself | RELATION/SHIPS (Part 2)

We are often quick to extend grace, patience, and forgiveness to others, then turn around and punish ourselves with harsh inner thoughts: "I'm so mad at myself." "I'm so frustrated." "I can't forgive myself." But self-condemnation isn't humility. It's pseudo-repentance that assumes your mistake is bigger than the cross of Jesus.

In Part 2 of our RELATION/SHIPS series, Pastor Pierre turns to the relationship we often neglect most: the one we have with ourselves. This message is about bringing the way you see yourself into line with what God says is true about you.

In this message, we cover: Why we give others grace we refuse to give ourselves The harsh inner voice and where it leads Why self-condemnation is not the same as humility How pseudo-repentance makes your mistake bigger than the cross Breaking the internal double standard What it means to stop arguing with God about who you are Seeing yourself as His beloved, adopted masterpiece

Your Heavenly Father has already settled what He thinks of you. It's time to start agreeing with Him.
