pov: you're a Christian with a savior complex

💭As Christians, it isn’t our job to “save” people-that’s still Jesus’ job 🫶🏼 But I do think that many people, myself included, still struggle with understanding how God can save people, even through other people. Anyone else relate? 🙈
In fact, sometimes I feel like God, in His mercy, prevents me from certain opportunities to share the gospel to expose my heart.
⚔️ Having “savior complex” is a double-edged sword:
1. When you effectively help someone, you take way too much pride in it 🏅 (and forget it was God’s work all this time)
2. On the other hand, when you fail to help, you beat yourself up with so much guilt (forgetting that God can help them without you 😅)
If you also struggle with this, I invite you to pray for God to search your heart and help you to obey Him with a humble and selfless heart 🤍 And let’s remember that God asks us to be His messengers, and we ought to embrace that responsibility, while relying fully on Him to cause the growth in the seeds we plant and water.
🙋🏻‍♀️ Is there someome you’re praying for to share the gospel with?
📖 “However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” (Acts 20:24)

A savior complex is quite the labyrinth of lies and idolatry to navigate. You seem like you've made a lot of progress, though. Praise God for that.
