Do you allow outside forces to determine who you are? Who defines you; your parents, friends, spouse, pastor, a controlling boss...who defines you? Or perhaps, for you, the question is WHAT defines you; your job, status, material objects? While some allow others to define them and some allow things to define them, there are some who don't fall into either of those groups. Those are the individuals who allow thoughts of what they DON'T have to consume them and ultimately define them.
When God created you He defined you. He breathed into you a purpose that only you can carry out. No one else can...only you. In order to successfully carry that purpose out, you have to be comfortable in the skin you’re in. In other words, you need to find out who you are and why you’re here.
Spend some intimate time with the Creator. Ask Him to tell you who you are. What better person to ask, than the one who created you. Ask Him to reveal everything about you and everything He’d have you to do. Ask Him to order your steps.
Most importantly, have confidence in His reply. He won’t lie to you to make you feel good. He’ll tell you the truth because He loves you.
Remember this…God is the author of the only dictionary that defines you!
Defined by Him,
