Hello friends! A question for today: Who are you? Do you know that it has taken me 40 years to be able to answer this question. The Holy Spirit led me back to "my Genesis" (when God created me) and strategically walked me back through every place I had been wounded. We found pieces of me all over the place! He has helped me understand that self-identity is at the root of every decision we make. The choice of a spouse, career, religion and even simple things like clothing depict our identification of SELF.
Knowing who "you are" is critical to "your" success! Acknowledging your weakness can help you be vigilant and wiser to guard that area. Awareness of your abilities and strength will help give you the confidence to go into new territories. Being mindful of your areas of sensitivity can help you pinpoint your motivation. And of course, studying your heart's desire can help you understand your greatest need.
There are many situations in the Bible where someone, after being approached, asked the other "who are you?" (some examples: Moses & God; Jacob & angel; S(P)aul & Jesus). We understand their relationship wouldn't go any further until they identified who they were dealing with. We tend to be the same whether in business, church or our personal lives. We want to know the people before we enter a close relationship with them. What I am saying though is that we will do better in all these areas if we really get to know SELF first!
Loving U Like a Sister,
