Who Are You

Who are you? That’s a familiar question.  However, there are very few more important questions that, “Who are you.”

Our identity will determine so much about our life.  Our identity will determine how we feel about ourselves and how we feel about others. Where then, do we get our identity? We gain the vast majority of our identity from whoever raises us.  There is going to be someone in your life that has a major influence in your life.  Those are the people that you were around in the first few years of your life.  For those of you that are Christians it is important to know who you are in Jesus too.  However, there are people, Christian, non-Christian, or whichever faith you follow that have no idea who they are or they have a miserable mental picture of their identity.  I sit in church a couple times a week and see people that don’t know who they are, their life is a train wreck.  The truly sad part is that so many of them look at others; believing that they have it all together.  Let me tell you, those that look like they have it all together rarely have a clue.  Those that do have it all together; well, you should have seen them yesterday or wait tomorrow.  We all have to go through stuff, but that is part of shaping our identity.  If you don’t really know who you are or have a miserable picture of who you are; just stand strong. Together we will walk this out and get the proper picture of who we are.  It is something that you have to do, but we all are in this together.
