The reason I say 17 years is that’s how long it’s been since I quested
Probably have noticed that many of my posts over the last 3 months have had a theme to them.
Righteousness
2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV) 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
I have heard over the last 17 years of walking out this life in general that the words righteousness and identity have been at the forefront.
I am not sure or understand why sometimes it takes so long for something to click. Over the last 3 months, it has clicked, and I understand. I am not sure if it’s a revelation. I’m not sure if I have not been paying attention🤣🤣 but I am listening now.
My whole attitude now is this. Am I going to allow this circumstance, am I going to allow this problem, am I going to allow what this person said about me, am I going to allow what’s going on in the world affect me, am I going to allow the Betrayal of a family member affect me, I think you get the picture. When I get betrayed am I going to live betrayed. No I am not
Because I know who I am. I am not going to let those circumstances matter more than what matters most. They’re not going to speak louder than Jesus speaks to me.
That’s not to say if something happens, it may affect me short-term because I’m not perfect even though God sees me as perfect.
I have learned over the years that I really don’t understand just how perfect I really am.
I love who I am. I like looking in the mirror, and my first thought now is, I see Jesus before I see me.
