Not a child of God
This assignment was similar to the Cross carrying. I had to remember to carry it. When I did I was reminded that I am a child of God and He delights in me. This is something that I wrestle with often and thanks to this assignment, I could turn my card over. In recovery we have a saying, " turn it over" as in turn it over to God. This was similar in the sense that I would need to turn my card over to see the truth that is, " I am one of God's living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house." (1 Peter 2:5) This verse helped me to remember that Christ Lives in me PERIOD! I think sometimes that I am alone or abandoned in this world, but that is far from the truth. He lives in me and always will.

Boom! Short, Sweet, to the Point of the truth of Christ! I love reading your blogs Robert because I don't have to wade through ten minutes of personal experience to get to the heart of the matter (and yes I realize no one write blogs that fit that second description worse than I do, I think I find the contrast refreshing :D)!
ReplyDeleteI love to see how your experience and ministry in recovery plays out in your every day life. "turn it over." That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteAhh, thanks for explaining the whole "turn it over" idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are a child of the one true king. You've been saved, you've been changed, and you've been set free! That song came to my conscious this week and just thought I'd share it. Those words are so true!
ReplyDeleteI love what you said about "turn it over." This figuratively with your card, because on the other side is a truth. So you're addressing your insecurity, but by turning it over it is no longer seen or dwelt on. But the God's promise is then seen and dwelt on. Also, just giving it up to God, and knowing that it's no longer in your presence, but handed over to him.
ReplyDeleteYou a wise one old soul ;)
