Our Identity,,,

Our Identity…It’s A Reality

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~Marianne Williamson~

What an AWESOME, Thought-Provoking, and Beautiful excerpt from Marianne Williamson. This excerpt really hit home. Living out the principles of Christ, is truly a REALITY that we need to live out day by day. It’s never an over-night process, but rather a step by step process. If becoming like Christ was an overnight, instant, to-go, or delivered to your door step ordeal, how would we learn what it means to trust and depend on Christ? Faith would never be something we would have to learn, because we would have never been in the place where we are in need of Faith, the evidence of things hoped for, and the substance of things not yet seen.    

Just think how much impact we would have in this world, if we were all walking out in FAITH, our true IDENTITY in Christ, there is nothing that would be IMPOSSIBLE for us to accomplish through Christ. Remember that…

¹³ God made all the delicate, inner parts of your body
      and knitted you together in your mother’s womb.

¹⁵ He watched you as you were being formed in utter seclusion,
      as your were woven together in the dark of the womb.
 ¹⁶ He saw you before you were born.
      Every day of your life was recorded in His book.
   Every moment was laid out
      before a single day had passed. Psalms 139:13, 15, 16(NLT)

What if…you are the only Glimpse of Jesus that others see. Yea, what if…YOU are the only Bible that others read. Just what if…There is one thing that we have to remember as we learn to become like Christ and that is the fact that the enemy is fighting persistently for your Identity, and does not want you to come into the fullness of your calling.

Your Identity, Purpose, and freedom in Christ has already been paid for at a high price. It’s time that you take ownership of it, and begin to walk it out today.

If God says it, you better believe that He is COMMITTED to His promises.
