My heart revealed... base... still so entangled in the ways of the world...
With each step toward the win... relief... joy... get 'em!
With each step toward defeat... heart clenched... disappointment... ugh!
My emotions tied up in a game... out of my control... like a roller coaster... up... down... up... down...
Stability... peace... came as I remembered the true identity of every Believer...
I am a child of God in the Kingdom of God...
The Kingdom is not in trouble....
I am not in trouble...
The heart of a teaching... The Good and Beautiful God ...Life ...Community... a study bent on replacing false narratives... with true narratives... Kingdom narratives... the ones Jesus lived by... a bent I'm trying to achieve...
And we know that for those who love God
all things work together for good,
for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
ESV
(emphasis mine)
In the Kingdom... all things... whatever... work for good...
In the midst of watching competition... I remembered... the same is true for my Believing offspring... I prayed...
Lord... my child is not in trouble... Your Kingdom secure... use whatever to grow him to be whatever You want him to be... for Your glory... for Your purpose... win... lose... whatever...
My heart changed... moment to moment... a new roller coaster ride... glimpses of truth... and a heart that still needs lots of work...
Lord Jesus... continue to move me into Your Kingdom... day by day... moment by moment...
