We sometimes use the term “savior complex” to describe an unhealthy syndrome of obsession over curing others’ problems. The true Savior, however, seemed remarkably free of such a complex.
–Philip Yancey
Jesus was so confident of who He was. He didn’t need to “put on airs” or run around healing everyone just so people would think well of Him.
I wish that I was so confident of who I am in Christ. He lives in me. All that is His is now mine as well. And yet I am still running around trying to “do things” to get the attention of others so that I can somehow feel better about myself. Instead, if I would just embrace the truth that I am a child of the King… that would be enough to satisfy me completely for all of my life.
Father God, help me to rest in the truth that I am yours… a child of the King!
