am i only what i know of myself?
If you asked a person "Who are you"? They are more likely to tell you what they do or their occupation and in their mind these two separate categories mean the same thing.
For anyone this is a dangerous position. However, for the believer it's also sad.
No matter how proud you are of your career path, to identify yourself with it degrades you and can potentially set you up for a disastrous fall.
When God created mankind, not only were you fearfully and wonderfully made, you were made in the image of God himself.
We will never get to know and understand God without Him revealing himself to you; you also will never know all of who you are without Him leading you on this lifelong journey.
Your career, gifts, talents, family name, and socioeconomic status cannot sum up all of who you are.
To Jesus you are his vessel, a bride, servant, friend, priesthood, his righteousness, his child, his image and so much more.
He died for you while you were his enemy. He wrote your name in the Lambs Book of Life before the foundations of the world.
As your are reading this, you are seated in Christ in heavenly places. Eph 2:6 "when we believed he raised us up to be seated with Christ in heavenly places."
Failure is not your enemy. Failures cannot define you. In Christ you either win or learn. Failure happens and we own it and learn from it.
You are not just worth more than you know; you are literally more than you know.
What stops us in our tracks is putting more faith in the carnal understanding of the temporary highs and lows of this life. And based on that we define ourselves. We then make our decisions from this flawed perspective.
Your self affirmation should be "by the Grace of God, I am who He says I am."
As we continue in Phil 2:5 "let this mind be in you that was in Jesus Christ..." His attitude and perspective.
The disciples were bold and confident because they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13. We get our true understanding of who we are by spending time with our Lord and Savior.
Our prayer today: Lord reveal to me all that I am to you. I know putting my faith in my own perspective is wrong and I move forward trusting You more each day.
