Remember Where You Came From, And Who You Are, So That You No Longer Live As A Victim Or A Judge.

Paul said:

1 Timothy 1 15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst.

Today, I will make reference to the Victim portion.

God has called us to great things.

He has called us to dwell into the uncomfortable.

He is offering us a life of meaning.

And it is the greatest deal that we could ever have.

Jesus made reference to this in numerous parables.

But none is more compelling to me in this moment than the response of the prodigal son to his Father when he returns home:  “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.  I am no longer worthy to be called your son.  Make me one of your hired hands.”

Returning home from our sin and facing the Father to repent.  It is the return from the victim’s mentality.

When we ask the Father to give us our inheritance … we are living as the victim.

When we squander our inheritance … we are living as the victim.

When we try to fill our lives with sin in order to fill up for something that is lost … we are living as the victim.

But …

When we come home …

When we own that we are broken …

When we own that we have not measured up …

When we own that we are not worthy …

We are correct.

But we are received into the Kingdom.

And our life … becomes both amazing and infinite.

And it is the greatest thing that we could ever have …

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
