When you became responsible too early

You are not required to keep repeating another person's sin.

Ezekiel 18:20

When you became responsible too early. There is usually more happening here than the obvious problem. Honesty and captivity are not the same thing. Jesus Christ gets the final word about who you are. Generational patterns may be familiar, but familiarity does not make them permanent. Christ can establish truth where history established reflex. There is no need to make this sound better before you bring it to Christ. He already knows what is underneath the words.

Where have you turned a circumstance into an identity statement? Did Jesus Christ ever say that about you?

Jesus, meet me before habit becomes another decision. Make my mind steady and my heart teachable so I can choose obedience. Amen.
