Problem: Cannot finish work. Used all weekend. Still cannot finish.
Me: Righteous. In Christ. Good. God’s Favorite.
Problem: Can’t find a job. Bleak future.
Me: God’s Favorite. God’s favor adorns me.
Translation to Non-Christians:
I was beating myself up so much I had to find some way to separate me and the problem. So I started taking the problem out of me like a chewing gum away from the ground and describe it. Describing it gave it some form and shape. It also allows me to put a finger at it, to box it up, instead of having some harmless fear clouding my head and eyes.
And then when I looked at myself, I saw myself good. That made me feel better. But what empowers that “feeling of good” is when God’s approval comes in. He says I am good. He says so. And not because of whether I finished the work or not. But because … (Christians know the secret *wink* ) What more can I ask for. This is eternal salvation man.
So instead of being in stress, I was In Christ.
