Who we are, dictates what we think. And what we think dictates what we do. And, what
we do dictates who we think we are. So, you see it kind of goes round and round and round.
The great secret of successfully navigating the Christian life is to recognize we are helpless to change the “lives we have” so that we become desperate enough to lay them down at the
feet of Jesus, who in turn gives us a new life, a new identity, and a new eternity.
