Have you ever wondered, is it always going to be like this?
Or am I always going to be like this? Why do things like this keep happening to me? Why did God make me like this?
You feel not good enough, stuck, in-between, not who you were but no who you want to be.
Do you know what it feels like to settle into that space and to have these moments where you drive yourself to work, or you lie in bed at night staring at the ceiling fan, thinking, I guess this is just how it's going to be. I guess this is just who I am.
There is a way out of the loop. There is a you, just by faith, believe this, that that is beyond what you can see, a you that is more glorious than you can see.
A you that is more whole and at peace and alive, loving, forgiving, kind, humble, patient, in love with the word and out of love with the world and over yourself.
The way to the real you; it's found in the Jesus Stuff.
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your[a] life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming.7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self[d] with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Colossians 3:1-17
