Your Identity Is Not Who You Are But Whose You Are!

MONDAY MESSAGE

The other side of the mirror
The other side of the line
That you so desired to cross
But oftentimes you felt lost
 
You felt unsure
Of who were
Who you are
and where you are even headed to
 
and the days that were oftentimes covered in stormy seas of dark blue
Slowly become clearer
As the light within you drew nearer
 
It wasn’t perfect
It was messy
 
But what a beautiful mess
That your mind undressed
To let it be naked
To let it be raw
To peel back the layers
and come to light all your flaws
 
All your imperfections
The hard ones
The lessons
The times you felt like this surely can’t be heaven
 
Because that’s what we all desire on this earth
To bring down a little piece of His golden hearth
But our hearts are so scarred
and our minds so dark
 
Like a shooting star in the night
A flash of light
and then it’s gone.
So how do we catch that star
and hold on?
How do we move forward as the days seem to drag on?
When our time here is so precious
So futile
we catch ourselves wondering if it is even worthwhile?
 
and then it hits
The downward spiral
 
As the thoughts become rifts
How do we stop the fault
and take a hard shift?
 
It begins with this:
 
Realizing WHO YOU ARE
and remembering WHOSE YOU ARE
YOU are a child of a King
YOU are called in to this life not just to breathe
But to be born again into a magnificent spiritual being
 
And that
is soul shifting
 
You can say all the words
and you can listen to all the media mogul blurbs
But until you come to term
With what you believe
and realize that the piece that is seemingly missing
Has been there all along
Like backdrop music
That constant elevator song
 
Always lingering
Always there
But most of the time we do not notice
Or even care
 
Until we become aware
Of every breath that we take
Every moment that is at stake
 
And not for the sake of ourselves
But for the sake of being more than just an old dusty book on a shelf
But to become like the words
The actions
The verbs
 
We are doing more
The seemingly unheard
As we rest in His presence
Our minds undisturbed


Defeating the enemy
As the battle continues to surge
Knowing that as we rise up
and Our feet touch the earth
Our mind is renewed
As we seek Him daily
Often
and first
As our souls tread the storms in the dessert
and He quenches our thirst
 
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” - Matthew 6:33 KJV
