When you are always the fixer

Joshua 24:15

You can choose whom you will serve, even when your family history is complicated.

When you are always the fixer. This is where faith gets practical. Pay attention to the sentence your mind writes next. Is it telling you that you are unwanted, unsafe, behind, foolish, trapped, or forgotten? That sentence matters because repeated thoughts eventually start sounding like facts. Family history explains some things, but it does not get to prophesy your future. Jesus Christ can interrupt what has repeated for generations. One honest decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ can be the beginning of a completely different pattern.

What would you advise someone you love to do if they were standing where you are?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
