あらすじ・解説
My identity was in me, my family and my accomplishments. I was an athlete, I had charm, an ability to sell ice to Eskimos and a decent brain….
My goal in life was to make my parents proud of me. Their acceptance of my accomplishments so to speak kept me anchored and is how I experienced love for the majority of my life…
I brought that into our marriage and needless to say it produced major issues. I’ll be honest it took me 15 years of marriage to realize that my identity wasn’t found in my wife, my kids, my ministry as a pastor at a local church. I felt I needed desperately to succeed in all areas of my life and became an idol for me….
Failure to receive some form of reciprocation for my efforts led to bouts of resentment….You see this was a symptom of a much bigger issue. Even though I claimed to know Jesus it wasn’t until recently that I chose to make Him central in my life…
To rest in Him and know that regardless of anything else my identity is sealed in Him and his never failing love for me.
At the end of the day there is such peace and joy in knowing that my identity is secure in Jesus and not any earthly things, including my marriage.
