James 4:17
"Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin."

Some of the most remarkable characteristics of people with CEN deserve mention. CEN people, both men, and women are exceptionally likable folk. This is part of the tragedy of CEN. These are some of the most lovable people in the world, and yet they feel the most alone. They are typically excessively competent, stand-up folks; yet they feel invisible. They suffer because some vital ingredient is missing from their lives. Yet that missing ingredient is their own emotions, which are not missing; just suppressed. God says, that we have all we need inside of us. As believers we know that, but living it is harder than it seems. The nagging feelings of inadequacy are always ready to rear their ugly head. Like David I am cutting the head off and I will have the victory for it was already won by Christ Jesus.
I tend not to focus on myself when I am in working mode, which is pretty much all the time. I feel lazy when I'm not doing anything. On the mission field it's feast or famine. Hence, the old triggers came up for me to once again. Seeing little girls working so hard, watching their siblings, little ones begging on the streets while the mother ignored them, all brought to mind the demons that I battle. I had great success, in that I did not disconnect or disassociate. I focused on them. I prayed for them, and prayed to God to meet their needs. I did not feel guilty, or blame myself. I did my own self-talk, and meditated on truth. I did not judge anyone, but allowed myself to operate in love.

Our foundation may not be strong, but we can add a new ending to our life. We can become aware of what is lacking, and God can help us fill in the cracks and gaps. I am becoming stronger, and more successful with each passing day, and you can too.

ACTION STEP: “You are not invisible, and you are not to blame. You have no reason to be ashamed. Ask yourself what you feel and why, and you will find your true self there. Your emotions will become your compass, your comfort, and your connection to life. And then you will realize how very much you matter.”
