Is 43:18
• Ìt is easy to get stuck in our lives & don't know how it happened or how to get out.
• The first kind of stuck is denial. Even in faith, we cannot be helped if we lie to ourselves. Denial is a dangerous form of Stuck.
• The second type of stuck is entitlement. Jesus Christ has all power, yet He was willing to wash His follower's feet as their servant.
• The third kind of Stuck is playing the blame game. It is dangerous to hold your relationships to cover your incompetence. When you blame, you stay the same. Instead, own it.
• The fourth kind of Stuck is a critical spirit. Criticism is a form of addiction & making yourself about you. It is impossible to be whole by yourself. Your criticisms are more about your frustrations than their abilities.
• The fifth kind of stuck is confusion. Although we can all be confused at times, we can hold on to the calling as a way to overcome that confusion.
