What are the stories that you tell about yourself? We have
these stories that we tell about ourselves. We define our own lives in so many
ways. And as Christians, we are meant to be defined by our relationship with
God.
That is why, it's so important for me that we take deep care
in the story we tell about our relationship with God. This is the defining
relationship of our existence. How do we talk about it? I don't mean
how do we share it with other people, although that's part of the picture. I am saying, how do we talk to
ourselves about our relationship with God?
There are some damaging stories that we tell. Here's one of my favorite damaging stories that we tell. We're all
a disaster. We're all a mess, broken, not worthy of
anything. We need God to show up and make us better. We're no good. We need God
to make us good.
