Before I became disabled,my employer told me something that I continue to see how much truth was in his words. He said "What I did was not who I was."
Although I was a very dependable employee and performed my tasks with diligence, that only identified a characteristic I possessed. I've become so grateful for these words of wisdom. They became a stepping stone to my living with the effects of Lyme Disease.
Albert Einstein said "Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value."
Galatians 5:22-23 tells us "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I am so thankful for the WORD; the LOGOS!! Like I said, it is a haven in times of trouble. I no longer have the high paying job, the new home, the car, the photo-static memory, or the ability to go back to college right now. What I do have is the ability to look beyond the materialistic realm to find my value. Jesus has taken me to a place where I can see His face (Fred Hammond; "The Essential Fred Hammond" 2007 ).
