Ups and Downs of Performance

Hostess: Renee Swope
Contributing Writer: Jill Tracey

Have you ever noticed how we base our opinions of ourselves on how we’re performing that day?

Hi, I’m Renee Swope for Proverbs 31 Ministries.

My friend is training to run a 5-K race and has had lots of ups and downs. One day she’s able to run almost two miles. The next, she can’t even push herself to run one. And, she’s realized that on the days she does well, she feels great about herself. But, on the days she struggles, she’s down on herself about everything. Have you ever been there? I have.

Aren’t you glad God loves us no matter what? No matter how well our workout goes…no matter what promotion we get or don’t get…no matter how we feel about ourselves!

The Bible says God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And it says His love for us never ends! So, why are we so hard on ourselves?!
