From my heart this morning… (a friend to all of you, a pastor to some):
There are days I feel completely unskilled, inept and a waste of breath.
There are days I feel my only worth is as a pastor, yet worthless as a father, husband, brother, son and friend.
There are days I feel no worth at all.
There are some days I feel the warmth of value based upon performance.
What I know…
Feelings, whether good or bad, lie to me. They don’t tell the truth. My feelings tell half-truths, partial truths which contain half-lies and partial lies. I can’t trust them.
To ground my mind, thoughts and myself I have to look elsewhere for reliable information about my value, my worth.
“You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.” (1 Corinthians 7:23)
