No, as I’ve previously stated before I used to do that all the time because i labeled God as just a “teddy bear” a comfort zone I can run to when things get hard and then I don’t need it anymore.

Just wanting to spend time with him. How has my Faith shifted over time? It’s developed severely as i’ve gotten older. The time and effort I put into building it up and making it strong.

When has ego driven my decisions? Defending myself for what people say about me or think about me. But i’ve learned what other people say about me is not my business and that sometimes what people say isn’t about you and they got their own thing going on. What damage did that cause? It can be draining, because you know who you are but people want to twist words or start drama for no reason and it gets tiring defending yourself. So I just learned to be quiet and my actions speaks volumes. Who do i need to humble myself with today? Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior

I’m not made to be him but to be like him and that’s being humble before him.
