Summary

SummaryI spent my whole childhood chasing πŸ†β€”from getting straight A’s to tying my school’s 75-m hurdles record. But when a sudden injury crushed my dreams and a painful breakup left me broken πŸ’”, I realized I’d been using God for my own success. In that emptiness, I cried out, β€˜I want Godβ€”I need You to save me.’ Through a campus ministry in Lincoln, Jesus met me with grace, gave me eternal life for free ✝️, and transformed my identity. Now I rest in the truth that I am defined by what Christ has done, not what I accomplish πŸŽ‰.

It’s one of the oldest lies that has haunted humanity from the beginning. β€œI can be my own God”. I can get it done by what I accomplished and then I will finally feel what my heart has always longed for.
β€œMy whole life I have been defined by my performance.” Academics, athletics, relationships… Where do we find our value? What does it take to measure up?
If true significance came from how hard we tried, wouldn’t we have made it by now?
