When your clothes stop fitting and your worth takes the hit

In Christ, you are chosen and called out of darkness into His light.

1 Peter 2:9

When your clothes stop fitting and your worth takes the hit. There is usually more happening here than the obvious problem. Acknowledging reality and letting it define you are not the same thing. Jesus Christ gets the final word about who you are. Your identity is larger than the role, title, appearance, or approval attached to you. Let Jesus Christ, not performance or approval, define what is true about you. Bring Jesus Christ the version you are actually living, not the version that sounds composed. He already knows what is underneath the words.

What story have you attached to this situation about who you are? Did Jesus Christ ever say that about you?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You what I understand and what I cannot make sense of. Guard me from reacting out of fear or wounded pride; lead me in Your truth. Amen.
