There is a quiet crisis underneath much of modern Christian living, and it rarely announces itself with drama. It shows up instead in the exhaustion of the person who has been trying harder for years and still feels like they are failing. It surfaces in the dryness of a faith that looks like discipline but feels nothing like love. It whispers in the dark: You are not enough. You are not like him. You never will be.
If that resonates, this article is for you. And the answer is not a new strategy for spiritual improvement. The answer is a word—a very old word—that you may have misunderstood your entire Christian life. Read the source article that sparked this reflection, written by Caleb Davis at The Gospel Coalition, and then let us go deeper together into what Scripture says about who you truly are.
