And so, like my friend Ray says to do, I stare at the glory of God until I see it. I am weak. If I hear anything long enough I will start to believe it. This works for gospel words too. So I stop listening to myself and start talking to myself, preaching to myself. I am not who they say I am; I am who God says I am, and I don’t have to be an Osteen fanboy to say that and think that. I just have to be a Christian.
