Who are you?

Take a moment to step back.  Ask yourself, who are you?  What defines you?  Who do other people see you as?  What do you let them define you as?

            I am nothing.  Worthless.  My God defines me, and I hope that others see me as His child.  I refuse to be defined as anything else.

            I am not my past, I am not my mistakes, I am not my family, or even their mistakes.  I am God’s creation, and I am His alone.  What about you?

            -If you’re wearing white shoes, take them off, because I’m about to step on toes.  If that makes you uncomfortable, GOOD!  The moment you get comfortable, you stop listening and working towards God, and then you are nothing that you claim to be.  We don’t need another hypocrite in this world, thanks anyway.-

            Why do we ground ourselves in a dying world?  How do we deny spirituality, when clearly it was there long before us?  We are nothing compared to the pure spirit, we are fleshly, half animal, half spirit.  We have a concept of time, and time has an ending.  However we have spirits, and spirits are for eternity.

            Our God CREATED us, destroyed us once, allowed us to repopulate, then died for us!  He wants us, wants a relationship with us, but he does NOT need us.  Why do we spit in His face constantly!  He asks for our belief, our love, our worship.  The funny part is if we could give Him that much and mean it in our heart, we would WANT to live differently!

            So you took a moment, said a prayer, claimed the name of Jesus.  Why does the world still define you?  If you claim salvation and don’t live it you’re a liar!  You’re still on the path to hell. (1 John 2:4)  God didn’t create us to destroy ourselves!  He has a true unconditional love for us, and we hurt him, always. 

            Satan disagreed with God, lied, came to earth, and polluted us with sin.  God’s very own creation degraded Him.  Oh, don’t get cocky, you’re no better.  No sin is bigger than the other, so why are you so much better than Satan?  You’re God’s creation, and you degrade His name everyday!

            You know those doubts in your mind?  Those are Satan’s demons.  The way science cuts short, doesn’t make sense, that’s Satan reassuring everything is here for our fleshly minds to not comprehend spirituality.  Our world seems more “real”?  NO!  Its not, but we are half animal, so we don’t allow ourselves to see beyond the world around us.

            The extremes that you go to, that is Satan!  Ever wonder why you always fail, always return to what you were?  Because Satan and his demons roam the earth with us, and our simple minds are not hidden to the spiritual world.  Every hidden weakness, every sore spot, God knows all!  Unfortunately, Satan and his demons know the flesh.

            We were given free will, and we don’t know how to use it.  We have to ask for the understanding we don’t have, the protection, the faith, and everything else.  We have to ask constantly to receive and keep the things we need to be extremely devoted to God, which is the ONLY extreme that proves terrible for Satan, the only extreme his demons can’t work with.

            So now, soak this all in, you claim to be one person, you live as another, and you allow the world to define you as it pleases.  So tell me, who are you really?  Because, if you’d give up your heart to The Almighty, I know who you could and should be.
