Stop Trying to Prove Yourself
Doug
Helpful words here from Jonathan Dodson on how to stop trying to prove yourself to God and others. Here’s a summary of his thoughts gleaned from Tim Chester’s book, You Can Change:
- We don’t’ have to seek approval from [Others] because are approved by grace in Christ.
- We don’t have to perfect [Ourselves] because imperfect people cling to a perfect Christ.
- We don’t have to impress [God] because Jesus impressed him for us.
I would only add that the starting point in this process is coming to a place of brokenness. When we are broken and laid bare before God we can then move into the reality of who we are as Christ’s beloved bride.
