Dave and Debbie did such a great job of presenting this. I completely agree that nobody needs the Gospels quite like missionaries. I think it is very important for me to remember that, because it is easy to think that I have it all figured out and that it is just my responsibility to bring the Gospel to others. It is first and foremost my responsibility to nourish myself, so that I am able to give to others. This whole study reminded me of my worth and place in Christ.
This is another area that God has been working on for awhile. When you spend most of your years hearing that you are not good enough; that you need to work harder, do more and be better; that you can’t do this or that; and are put into a box in which you are not allowed to get out of, it takes quite a lot to start believing the good things and that you can have more. I have gone through other studies on being a child of God instead of an orphan, it sticks for a while, but then I seem to forget. It obviously hasn’t reached my heart, but God intends to change that for this topic seems to keep coming up. Even now, I can’t get away from it. At first I intended to take a class on this and am now finding myself teaching a class on this. How did that happen? I may be the least qualified to teach this, but I know that by teaching something you really have to get it to be any good at teaching it. I think God may have a plan. I’m so glad that He does I know that I am a child of God and that with this comes many inheritances. I want to believe it, as well. I want to start acknowledging God’s promises and start accepting them. I am sick of having my emotions attached to what others think of me; it’s time that I put them where they belong, with Christ. It is only with Him that there is stability and safety. It is time to get off of the roller coaster.
