You’ve probably noticed that there’s a t-shirt for everything: bands, sports teams, tv shows, movie franchises, you name it. Clothing is a significant way that people identify themselves, and the logos we wear tell people something about who we are.
Our mindsets are like an emotional graphic tee we wear – and a victim mentality tells nothing but lies about who we are. Because God is equipping us to handle all the curveballs of life, and he can transform our minds to remember this truth, we no longer have to identify ourselves as victims.
Ephesians 4:23-24 tells us that, like putting on a new shirt, we can put on the identity God gives us. You can start by asking yourself “In this situation, what would a victorious person do?” How would someone confident in their identity as an overcomer and conqueror in Christ respond in your situation? It’s time to take off your old victim mentality and put on what God has for you!
