🟣 Friday — Dependence
Truth:Dependence is not a weakness to overcome—it is the way you were created to live.
Micro-Teaching:At the level of being, you are not self-existent. You don’t generate life, sustain it, or hold it together. That belongs to God alone. He is the one who simply is—full, complete, needing nothing. Everything else, including you, exists by receiving. That’s not a flaw in your design. That is your design. The tension you feel in life usually shows up when you try to live outside of that reality.
You’ve felt that pressure before. The sense that you need to hold things together, figure everything out, keep everything moving. It feels responsible, but underneath it, you’re stepping out of your place as a creature and trying to function like the source. That’s why it gets heavy. Dependence brings you back. Not into passivity, but into reality. You still move, act, lead, and decide—but you’re doing it as one who receives life from God, not as one who produces it.
Practice:Start one moment today by consciously depending on God instead of yourself.
Reflection:Where do I resist dependence because it feels like weakness?
Word of the Day:Dependence — living as one who receives life and sustenance from God.
A FREE companion course connected to the themes of Because He Is, We Are will be available here soon.
