Weakness and failure
Feeling unworthy
Believing we do not deserve love, forgiveness, or new opportunities.
What the Bible can tell you
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
Psalms 103:10
"He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Luke 15:20
A human reading
Feeling unworthy makes you reject the love offered to you. The parable of the son who returns shows that love does not wait for you to deserve it. You can accept love as a gift.
