“Now Sabbath gives me space to not take on any of the negative feelings about being underemployed and other thoughts that try to chip away at my identity in Christ.”
God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by subtracting. -Meister Eckbart |
I also just wanted to share how Sabbath helps me with my
identity in Christ. Back when I had a
full time demanding job of teaching high school I was able to really disconnect
from my titles and just rest in the fact that God loves me for who he made me
to be and not all I can accomplish. When
I was going through the process of knowing I would be laid off at the end of
the year Sabbath gave me a place to rest and not think of what is next. Now Sabbath gives me space to not take on any
of the negative feelings about being underemployed and other thoughts that try
to chip away at my identity in Christ.
And I know that I should be living like this daily but sometimes if I'm
not focused on abiding it creeps in.
Sabbath allows me to get back on track and hopefully helps me to keep my
identity in Christ central.
