Bringing light to the lies

I read this today. God's word is so perfect and His faithfulness astounds me.

Isaiah 41:8-10

“But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you descendants of Abraham my friend,
I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


I want to know this truth in my heart and not just in my head. He has gone to the ends of the earth in pursuit of me (even though I'm a broken, hot mess), he chose me (I'm not rejected!) and he has called me to be his servant (what a privilege to serve the living God!). He promises to strengthen me, help me, and hold me up. So, why do I doubt? Why do I continually seek to find this acceptance from other people? Why don't I live in his love and grace?
