Ps Janine Kubala - Better Together - Part 2: Controlling Your Thinking
We are created in the image of a God who embodies perfect relational harmony, yet as humans, navigating relationships can be a daunting task. Join us as we delved deep into the theme of relationships, in part two of our series, exploring how our thought life impacts our interactions with others.
In Genesis, we see how the knowledge of good and evil altered humanity's perspective, leading to insecurity and fear. We're naturally inclined towards negativity, but as followers of Christ, we're called to embrace positivity and love. Philippians 4 urges us to fix our thoughts on what is true and admirable, for positivity brings peace and stability to our relationships.
Together, we will evaluate our "Evil Genius Score" versus our "Insecurity Score' to highlight how often we dwell on negative thoughts and insecurities, affecting our relationships. But there's hope. By actively pursuing positive thinking and aligning our thoughts with God's truth, we can overcome potential 'Insecurity Death Spirals'.
Together we will learn to 'assume goodwill' in our interactions. Instead of jumping to conclusions or dwelling on insecurities, let's extend grace and believe the best in others. Just as we desire understanding and acceptance, so do those around us.
The message resonated deeply as we reflect on the root of insecurity — a belief that we are not enough. But as Ephesians 4 reminds us, we're called to maturity in Christ, humbly making allowances for each other's faults and striving for unity in love.
Insecurity doesn't originate from God; it's a tool of the enemy to distort our identity and hinder our relationships. But through the power of Christ's love, we can reclaim our power and our identity and break free from the grip of fear. Let's embrace God's perfect love, casting out fear and reaffirming our worth in Christ.
