A few weeks ago, i started a new job... and a new inferiority complex.
NOT of GOD.
I have been having dreams about doing my job wrong, getting myself all worked up over whether or not i am capable of doing what i've been trained to do.
So i've tried my best to do my best so that i could give glory to God with my actions... And ended up warping what that verse was saying.
NOT of GOD.
I have been trying on my own strength. Trying to show them that i can do it. And by golly, it is NOT WORKING. I feel like i'm being examined under a microscope by almost every person i work with and i am found lacking.
NOT OF GOD!!!!!
SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE. This is all wrong. I should not be operating on my own power.
Jesus is NOT just a backup battery. He is the POWER SOURCE. Better than the sun in the solar panels, the uranium in the nuclear reactor, the water in the niagara falls.........
I should be drawing my strength from Him, leaning on Him, KNOWING that i can't do it without Him.
Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ: it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
It should be Christ shining through me, working through me, building relationships with the people i work with THROUGH me... not through ME.
IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ME! .... and that takes the pressure off!!!!!
Praise God for showing me that before i ran ragged into a nervous breakdown :o)
I had a lightbulb moment earlier with this verse...
II Corinthians 13:5 - Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?...
Didn't i know myself?? JESUS IS IN ME.
