the past wednesday during our discipleship time, kirsten made a simple yet profound statement: "you have nothing to prove."
oh.
it's been on repeat in my head since then. i have nothing to prove. i have nothing to prove. i have nothing to prove. no need to prove that i'm a "good" christian, a smart student, a caring dg leader, a thoughtful friend, a filial daughter, and etc... i can just be.
still a sinner saved by grace, already accepted by God. "[my] worst days are never so bad that [i] am beyond the reach of God's grace. And [my] best days are never so good that [i] am beyond the need of God's grace."~jerry bridges
i have nothing left to prove.
Jerry Bridges is my homeboy. One time I was at my buddies house when they were billeting Bridges. He made it very clear to by buddies mom that he expected the coffee to be ready by 6AM when he would be waking up for his morning quiet time.
