As I read “The Confessions of Saint Augustine” (St. Augustine of Hippo) within my tent a few minutes before bed and in the wee hours before our days’ ministry, I am gradually learning the sacredness and sovereignty of God and not necessarily my relationship with Him, but His relationship with me.
Which has the potential to change my view of Christianity and my role as a desperately broken individual. Already it is challenging the way I see myself in the big scheme of things. I am gradually relearning that my value and worth to God is not based on what I do or not do, who I am or who I am not, my intelligence or lack of intelligence, and my performance or lack of performance. By no means is this a new ‘lesson’ for me-I have had numerous friends remind me of this, but I am still struggling with truly accepting that God and others love me just as I am-regardless of any other peripheral components.
