Okay. Really. Did I just ask Jesus who
I am?! I might have made him laugh with that one…
“Sorrow
is better than laughter and a sad face is good for the heart.”
Ecclesiastes 7:3
As the tears rolled down my face, Jesus
continued to comfort me. “I am your protector. You are my beautiful
daughter. I am your pops. In me,
you are made new. You are a new person. You are beautiful. Follow me.
I am your everything. Trust me always. Seek me. It is a
continuous, painful process that you must press into.” In end He
says, “DIG DEEP! Press into the change!”
Who does GOD say I am? Who has HE
intended me to be? I feel stripped away of the person everyone told
me I was. This is what consumed me, thus hindering me being who HE
created me to be. I plead for answers and this is what he taught
me…
We have 3 identities.
1. Who the world
says we are.
2. Who I say I am.
3. Who God made us to be.
When we are
caught up in being the person of the world we are moving fast away
from the Lord creating only 2 identities.
1. Who the world tells us
we are.
2. Who God made us to be.
The 2 identities are so far apart
clouded in between. We know nothing different and do not realize our
true identities in Him.
So when our focus changes directly to
Jesus we stray away from the person we believe we are-the person
that was defined by the world and closer to Him. Right now this is
where I am. I am moving away DENYING the old me. This is leading me
to THE FINAL DESTINATION. Here there is only 1 identity- WHO JESUS
SAYS I AM. All others are destroyed.
I am who Jesus intended me to be.
Within that I am like Jesus. I am a reflection. Others see Jesus in
me, thus beginning a new cycle in them. God has adopted me, therefore
now I have His DNA!! In all ways, I am now in His image and He
protects me from the lies of the world.
You
have begun to live a new life in which you are being made new and are
becoming like the one who mad you. This new life brings you the true
knowledge of God.
