Who are you

What are you facing currently? Are you up for the fight, or are you laying low hoping to escape the situations in life? Either can be viable options depending on what you’re going through.
The battles of this life always remind me of our purpose. Everyone has a different purpose according to their abilities and passions. But we also have one purpose we all share. WE are meant to love and be loved.
Loved by the father and love those around us. Seems simple but sometimes our flesh gets in the way. Shame, pain, and hatred can be barriers we face. But the good news is Jesus is graceful. He is kind. He doesn’t leave us to fend for ourselves. He is actually always pursuing us.
When asked “who are you?” and you answer with a negative connotation, it may be time to find some healing. Those are what we call thought distortions. 2 Corinthians 10:5, “we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” It can be hard to do but if you don’t your thoughts will be the ones holding you captive.
You are valuable and seen. Sometimes dreams take time to accomplish but the good news is that you are not your dreams. You are you. You are seen, you are heard. You are a child of God.

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” Romans 12:6-8.
