You know your name, age, where you came from, what you're good at, what you're not so good at, what you can do, what you can't do and so on. You have a fairly good idea of who you are... and i assume you know yourself better than someone else does...
But, do you know who you REALLY are?
Yeah, you are all the things said above, strengths, weaknesses etc... but do you know just who you actually are?
Well, hopefully, readin this you'll get a good basis of who you really are and be able to grow with that....
Lets kick things off nicely... I am a Son of God. YOU are a Son of God. (For the ladies reading this, by Son I mean both male and female. Son refers to son and daughter.)
Those are words from the very book God wrote, the Bible. John 1:12 if you wanna check it out, think you should ;)
So, lets just hang around there for a bit... a CHILD of GOD. The love a parent has for their child, in the natural is only a fraction of the Fatherly love God has for you... He loves you as His child, no matter what.
Now, we all know from the millions of nativity scenes and easter stories performed and read to us over the years that Jesus is the Son of God... so, how can we be? We have our mums and dads and our families, we're a child of them, not God... But thats where things get ridonkulously cool... He adopted you as a child into His family... err... what!?
Yeah... so... When you figured you can't do life without Jesus, and you realized that life was actually IN HIM, You were welcomed into the Family as a Child of the Father. (The whole school yard thing of 'My dad's bigger than yours' really becomes an ultimate WIN for you =])
This is where it gets even more bonkers... If Jesus is the Son of God, and then, we're also Children of God... that must mean that Jesus is our brother... S'CUSE ME... WHAAAAT!??!
Yeah thats right... let your mind melt, its good for you. ;)
We are co-heirs with Christ.... meaning we share the same inheritance and we carry the same authority as He does.
(while i'm writing this i still haven't grasped the whole awesomeness of this FACT.)
Jesus came and pretty much provided us with the life we always wanted, whatever you want in life, whatever you NEED in life, you find it in Him... and it don't run out... ever.... at all.... SORRY, sidetracked... yeah, Jesus came and showed us how to do life, full of fun, miracles, love and of course, food. =]
A life full of fun, miracles and love... is that what you're living? cos thats who you are! You're one with Jesus, you're his brother/sister, God's child blessed with what Jesus was blessed with... GUYS... THIS IS INSANE... WHAT JESUS DID, YOU CAN DO...
not only that, but YOU ARE TO DO GREATER WORKS THAN HIM.... oh GLORY.
Once you came into the Family, embraced the Father and loved the Son, you were kitted out ready to torment Satan by putting an end to everything he tries. This means YOU, BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE, can see sickness flee at the presence of your Father, you can see people throw their crutches away cos you realized who you are, who your brother is and what you can do!!
You are a CHILD of GOD
A CO HEIR with CHRIST
A CITIZEN of HEAVEN
BORN from ABOVE
YOU ARE A KINGDOM GENERATION OUT TO CHANGE THE WORLD....
READY TO SEE IT?!
GO AND DO IT!!
this topic is HUGE so i'll most probably write more on it, but not today... we'll do it in small doses!
Grab this and chew over it! =]
YOU WERE BORN TO BE AMAZING =]
