You are accepted. You are priceless. You can be a leader of the Flock.

Romans 15:7 NIV
"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."

Welcome back. The last few days we have been discussing "Attachment Types." For some of you this is old information, you knew about this subject. You are an expert. Others of us were caught off guard. We didn't know why we act the way we do. We thought we were helpless in our state. We felt like that Goose. We lived life  plummeted by our circumstances, with no hope of flying above our reality. I am here to tell you there is no death warrant on a child of God, because in the God of the Resurrection we will rise again. 

My prayer for you and for me this year, actually for all of us--is that God would reveal our Blind Spots and our weaknesses; that in Him weaknesses would become strengths, and Blind Spots, would become lenses to see the world the way Jesus sees the world. We can be leaders of the flock! Once we know the way, we can show others the way. 

ACTION STEP: Look back over the last couple days of this Blog and let it really settle in to you, and speak to you. Abandonment and rejection can impair a person's ability to trust others, make it harder for a person to feel worthy or be intimate. These fears could make a person prone to anxiety, depression, codependence, or other issues. Abandonment issues are also linked to borderline personality (BPD) and attachment anxiety. This is not a death sentence! This is an opportunity to take the oxygen from above and put it on your own face first, and then tend to those around you, just like on an airplane. God has plans for you. Now, go do the work so you can get to work! You truly are accepted. You are priceless. You are called to be a leader!
