WHISPERS TO AND FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

You Are Worthy Of Me

Yes to be in true love with me
you must feel unworthy and
have no sense of self-righteousness.
But in feeling this way you must
not think of yourself as a
“spiritual bum”
In feeling this way you must
realize  that you have reached
a spiritual maturity which has
been given to you by the Holy Spirit.
For in feeling unworthy and in
not being self-righteousness you
are part of my love and grace
and not apart from it.
In other words, you are not excluded
from a relationship with me
because you feel this way rather,
you are worthy of me because you
feel unworthy of me.
So discount yourself not from my grace.
By not basking in your worthiness
and self-righteousness you shall reach
spiritual heights unimaginable

The Holy Spirit is telling me in this Whisper that “You are worthy of me because you feel unworthy of me” You may think this is a little crazy but to me, it is an incredible Whisper of wisdom.

For years standing in the light of God, I felt so unworthy. A big part of that unworthiness was caused by my sins and my constant falling to temptation. In addition to feeling unworthy I had no sense of self-righteousness, that is to say, I did not feel entitled to the Lord’s grace by my feelings or actions. This feeling of unworthiness and no sense of self-righteous left me feeling not good enough to enjoy the love and grace of God without guilt.  But in reality, the fact that I felt this way placed me in the light of God.

Let me explain it this way because this wisdom was very hard for me to understand and I want you to get it.  Let us say no matter how much I sinned and went against the will of God I felt God owed me because after all I was baptized as a Christian and that “entitled” me to salvation and it did not matter much how I lived here on earth; My friends that would be someone who had feelings of worthiness and a sense of self-righteousness. The truth is God would not honor that but what this Whisper is telling me that the Lord honors my feeling of unworthiness and lack of sense of self-righteousness. The Whisper tells me that I should not feel excluded because of this but rather included for I should realize it is the grace of God that enables me to feel this way

All the time I felt that these feelings were not where I needed to be with my walk with Christ. However, the Holy Spirit is telling me not to feel bad for feeling like this, rather feel blessed. For in feeling unworthy and lacking in self-righteousness I have positioned myself right with Jesus that is my worthiness and righteousness is found in him. This understanding is a blessing. Instead of feeling like a spiritual bum, I feel chosen.

 

Dr. Don’s Comments

This is an amazing Whisper. If you are walking in and with the Lord, you cannot help but feeling unworthy and lacking in self-righteousness.  You probably thought as I did that feeling undeserving in this way made you feel that you were not cutting it with God.  You probably thought that feeling this way excluded you from the grace and gifts of God. But it is exactly the opposite.

If you feel worthy and self-righteous in your own right why do you need Jesus?  To feel self-deserving in this way is fuel for pride and all kinds of sins. But to feel that you are unworthy and lacking in self-righteousness allows Jesus to bring you along to share in his worthiness and righteousness which is the road to salvation.

That is why God brought his son to earth that through his sacrifice and sinless life you can be made worthy and righteous in and through him and not through or by yourself.  You cannot create the worthiness and righteousness needed to be a follower of Jesus on your own.  It is in a true sense of unworthiness and a lack of self-righteousness that you become blessed.

If you feel unworthy and unrighteous with and in the Lord, this is not a bad thing.  It prepares you for the true worthiness and righteousness that comes from the Lord. Feeling this way is an important part of your walk with the Lord.
