Position in Christ Has Nothing to Do with Condition on Earth

I want to understand this better, and hope that more people do, too.

Who we are has nothing to do with how we feel or what we have.

Who we are has everything to do with who Christ is, and that we are in Him.

Our position in Christ cannot be effected, no more how poor or rich we may be at any one time.

Who we are in Christ cannot change, no matter how we may feel, for better or for worse.

Like many, I am addicted to feeling better, and trusting those feelings as a guide for my standing before God.

No, that's wrong.

I get that.

It's very hard to define God's love for us based on how we feel.

It's a source of great bondage, too, if we insist on feeling a certain way in order to say that we are at peace, too.

Jesus, reveal to us all the more, no matter how we feel, that you are taking care of all things for us.
