This is a test

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

—Psalm 139:23-24

Part of my anxiety with going new places and attending large functions is that I don’t want other people to judge me.

Most of us don't like being scrutinized and tested.

Here is a thought: God knows us through and through.

He has been with us from our conception and will work with us through the grave and beyond.

When we invite Him into our interior world to search us, test us, and even scrutinize our anxious thoughts, know that He is not there to condemn or punish, but to cleanse and redeem so that we can be led to His eternal grace.

I want to be the woman that God intended me to be, and if that means being searched and tested to be lead on the right path, than that is what I ask.

God is my salvation.

Have a blessed day!
