WHO ARE YOU vs. WHO YOU ARE
Hello Deer Flat Family!
Across my years I have
encountered so many people and, as you would expect, so many different
conversations. One of the most common
topics is this very issue – “Who am I?”
So many times our identity is connected to who we are trying to be, who
we think we might be, who our culture tells us we are, and perhaps even who our
parents want us to be.
If our identity is wrapped up
in our talents, skills and abilities, and that’s how we define ourselves, once
any of those are lost or dropped, it creates confusion and takes us back to
square one. Achievements, talents and
purpose are all good. But with or without them, our identity is bigger than our
purpose, mission and achievements. Because we already have infinite value and worth.
It is God and His Word that
really defines who we are. It’s God who
declares our worth and value. He says
that, “one soul/person is worth more than all the world.” Wow, that’s an amazing statement. And, it’s true!
I’m inviting you to join me
over the next couple of weeks to discover our true identity in Christ. We’ll have a chance to really see who God
says you and I are. Because so many don’t know who they are as Followers of
Christ, we live way below our privileges and capabilities. I can promise you, we’re going to have a
meaningful time as we consult the Bible for clarification on perhaps the
biggest issue of our lives. I can’t wait
to see you this Sunday!
By the way… don’t forget:
