There is something wrong with it. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. A feeling of unworthiness stems from self judgement that you can never meet a set up expectation. Chasing a carrot which you feel others have caught but you keep falling short. Yet, Jesus through His Holy Ghost gives us an overcoming power to be able to attain whatever Jesus has for us.

No, I didn't over think anything. I call'em like I see them. You have your perception of me whether right or wrong, and I have my perception of you, whether right or wrong. I just don't moan over your criticisms of me, like you do over my criticisms of you. But seriously, it is to the point of sticky sweet grossness when I hear a man behind a pulpit or in his religious writings how he cannot understand why God even deals with him. Well I got news for you, if that's your view of how God views you, He probably thinks why does He even deal with you? God most likely would like to pump up your testosterone levels a few notches.

Do you? Do you really? By making comments on how you are a piece of work, one could only speculate what in heaven's name that means? How you don't understand Why Jesus even bothers with you? How most often you barely believe in yourself? That doesn't sound like pressing towards anything, but more like pulling to the side of the road. Yet, the real spoke in the wheels is how you make statements like your thankful for the truth of God's Word because it runs counter to your thoughts and feelings about yourself, and that gives you hope? Bro, something is up with that? One would have to ask what are you doing, or thinking which is contrary to the Word of God?
Frankly there is no way I would sit in a pew with my girls, and listen to that defeatism coiled around some display of hyper worthlessness. Bro, you don't need a pulpit you need an altar.
