When you became responsible too early

Ezekiel 18:20

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

When you became responsible too early. There is usually more happening here than the obvious problem. There is a difference between acknowledging reality and surrendering your identity to it. One is wisdom. The other is captivity. Family history explains some things, but it does not get to prophesy your future. Jesus Christ can interrupt what has repeated for generations. Bring the real problem to Jesus Christ, not the polished version. He already knows what is underneath.

What story are you attaching to this situation that Jesus Christ never said about you?

Jesus, interrupt whatever is automatic in me that does not look like Your truth. Give me a clear mind, a guarded heart, and the courage to do the next faithful thing. Amen.
