Is There Fruit in Self Sacrifice?
Manage episode 446638787 series 3585459
Beginning to have real clarity, that my formed identity, my entire life, is the person that "makes everyone's life easier". At first glance this seems very noble and kind and generous. A good Christian, right?
As I spend more and more time in quiet contemplation with God, I am questioning where is the fruit in this now? God is encouraging me to go deeper in who am I really?
For years the fruit of making life easier for everyone was feeling like a good girl and a good employee and a good wife. It had its moments of "what would we do without you" accolades. However, when does self-sacrifice become too much?
In this episode, I question if all of the institutions created are loving the self sacrificing employee, patient and student. Trying on the thought of I am free and God's kid and I get to choose. If you are feeling like you can relate, this episode is for you. Try on Independence Day, even if just for a few minutes.
