Remember, you are:
- A work in progress, looking towards the work finished, Jesus.
- Under construction, in a process, two steps forward, one step back.
- On a journey of faith, because faith is not a light-switch.
- A messy, gritty, raw, real, complicated creation called a human being, and no one should ever shame you for being human. Jesus was one of us, too.
- Not defined by your mood, situation, or circumstance.
- Not defined by the “amount” of your faith, but rather by the perfect author of your faith
who receives even your weakest stumbles towards Him. It’s not about
your grip, but rather the strength of the branch that holds you.
- So loved that God preempted your failures
with the gift of His Son Jesus, who died to pay your price of Hell and
who also died exactly for those times you would feel far from Him.
- Always allowed to approach the throne
room of God with all your anxieties and fears and requests, no matter
how petty, because God can handle your venting and clenching of teeth and He will not bite your head off. It’s also His very grace and acceptance that begin to restore the broken pieces back together.
- A Christian, a profoundly broken person who has met Jesus the Messiah, who radically transforms you by being who he is: the Savior, Redeemer, King, Brother, Friend.
