We tend to associate ourselves with a college team, pro team or any sports team that we are a fan of; but does that really identify who we are?
We see people, in today’s society, questioning their very identity. They want to be identified in so many different ways that it is no wonder our society is in turmoil and confusion; yet we know that God created 2 identifiable genders in Male and female. Does that still truly explain who each of us are?
People everywhere are struggling with that very question and we see how more and more are going to counseling and are put on medication and still they can’t find a peace with it.
I want to pose 3 questions for you to answer for yourself. You can write them down on your notepads or wherever you can.
1. What is your Title? - Pastor, deacon, teacher, coach, engineer, firefighter, chief, doctor. This is usually associated with your work or something you do.
2. What do people call you? Dad, mom, grandma, granddaddy, Pops, son, daughter, jerk, loser, dummy, idiot, explicit names, Sir, maam, jock, dead-beat or something that describes your personality or behavior.
3. Who do you see yourself as, especially spiritual traits or gifts? Prayer-warrior, mentor, comforter, Word of Knowledge, healing, prophecy, and discernment.
How does God see each of us and do we see ourselves the way that He sees Us?
So, how are we to see ourselves?
It isn’t through a title, a description from yourself or others, and it isn’t through what you have or haven’t done as a child of God.
Paul told the church in Ephesians 2:10 that, “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.”
Ephesians 3:20 say, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,”.
