We Need to Remember…

that our sins, our struggles, our weaknesses, are not the definition of who we are unless we choose to make them so. This is not to say they are not real, or that we are somehow above their effects and consequences. Rather, mercy, grace, salvation, and hope, gifts of God to humanity in Jesus Christ are what our creator wishes for us and because of this they, too, can be the definition of who we are if we so choose. Illnesses, sins, struggles, challenges, all of them are not the measure of who we are, what ultimately defines us is Christ.
