Here is a quote fron Blessed John Paul II, "“Being is much more significant and essential than having or doing. And the greatest temptation we face is to prefer having and doing more than being.”
The words of St. Paul, "This is what someone of you used to be; but now you have had yourselves washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord JEsus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."
Think about who yo are today. Think about the water of baptism pouring upon your head, having been washed and thus sanctified.
Think about your identity as a Christian.
What we use to do gives way to who we are. We are children of grace, children of God.
At some point we have to let our identity as Christians, followers of Christ, take the lead.
Today don't focus on doing or having, just focus on being, being a christian.
