Struggles this summer/Quiet time

Being an intern again for the third time at Common Ground has been quite challenging this summer. The Lord is showing me how prideful and self-righteous I really am. it has been so difficult to allow people to see me mess up. in other words, I hide and conceal my sin because I am terrified of being rejected and abandoned by the people I love dearly. The root of it is: I do not believe that people can love me for who I really am: sinful, wicked, and ugly. Although i HAVE BEEN transformed and made new in christ, I am still a sinner in desperate need of a Savior.I hate making mistakes, and I want to be perfect so people can love me, but no one is perfect! I am praying through these issues and asking God to help me to find my identity in him. I know without a doubt that God loves me in accepts me for who I am, but I don't believe believers are capable of doing that. Pray for me Saints as I allow God to change my heart.
