A while ago, I had lost my
diamond bride-of-Christ ring. Recently, my mother found it. I should have been
heartbroken that I had lost a diamond ring, but I wasn’t. I want to share that
I think God has given me a new perspective on the ring.
The
ring is just a symbol—a reminder. But I have never thought of it like this
before! With that ring, I am declaring that I belong to Christ, that I will
serve Him the rest of my life. But that also means that I am defined not by the
world, but by God. This includes the fact that I am not defined by AT or the
fears that might be connected to AT or medical-ness. So, this ring will always
be a reminder to me to look up when I am not feeling positive. Also, I can’t
criticize myself too harshly, because if I break my heart, then I am breaking
the Lord’s heart.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1
