What or Who Defines Your Life?
January 2, 2024
It’s very clear to me that the world’s definition of success is very different than God’s. It’s easy to think that my worth and value are based on what I accomplish. It’s even easy to let ourselves be defined by what happens to us—the good or bad circumstances that life throws at us.
I want to be defined not only what God thinks about me, but by how I choose to respond to what happens to me.
Instead of looking at my achievements or my circumstances to tell me whether I should feel good about myself, or as any kind of indicators of God’s love for me, I’m going to continually choose to be a person of hope—defined by my posture, rather than my performance. Looking at life, not by what I get out of it, but who I choose to be in the midst of it all---the good and the bad.
And thanking God for it all.
Remember, choose hope today.
