Do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?
I was confronted with these words the last couple of weeks, in the sense of 'Are we what we do?' Are we what our surroundings make us out to be? Are we what our profession tells us to be?
Or are we maybe something else?
During the first week of training we were confronted with why do you do the the things that you do? Is it maybe to impress someone? Or to reach a goal- for instance for self glorification?
I use to think so. But then I was confronted with the word: I am a child of the most High God. I am uniquely loved, cherished, beautifully made and cared for. My primary function is not what I do, or even who I am or who I will become. But rather to bring Glory to the God of the universe in all that I am.
Jesus lives in me, and it is time to die completely to self and let Him take over!
So I want to challenge you to also ask the question, what and who defines who I am?
