A new prospective


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
