Just what I needed

I had a really bad day yesterday, and today set out to find some encouraging words from a few daily devotional websites I sometimes read. I was really blessed when not one, but ALL three spoke exactly to the day I had before and gave me the exact encouragement, three different verses, for how I needed to approach today. Here's one that blessed me in particular and I hope it blesses you too:

Give Yourself a Break

by Joyce Meyer - posted July 03, 2014

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
—Philippians 1:6
If you find it difficult to like yourself, you are not alone. I struggled with self- rejection during much of my life and I have discovered many others also struggle with the same thing. But that is not God’s plan. He doesn’t want you to feel afraid and insecure . . . or to be consumed with achieving perfection in hopes of being considered valuable.
God is the only one who can perfect the good work He has started in your life, but it takes some time. And during the process He wants you to recognize you are making progress. So give yourself a break and say, “I’m okay and I’m on my way!”
