       If we are against ourselves, it can make it more difficult for us to realize God is our on side because we aren’t on our own side. It’s such an unfortunate thing, and yet many of us fall into the trap of rejecting ourselves. And rejecting ourselves not only hurts our relationship with God and how we view God, but it also hurts our relationships with other people, but this is a whole ‘nother topic altogether. Anyway, we have to come to a place where we see ourselves as good since we are righteous through Christ, not because we perform perfectly. And I suppose that is a real problem for people, again, whose performance is polished. If people take great pride in how they look before others, then they are depending on that image for how they feel about themselves, and even how they feel they are doing before God. But, God can only be for us if we are trusting in what is reality, and that is Christ’s righteousness, not on own. Since God really is for us, no one can really stand against us.
