Personally, that's a big question for me. "Who am I, really?". We live in a society that says, "Just be yourself!", and not mention, this one, "You can be anything you want to be!".
Its not a bad thing to 'be yourself,' but most of the time, it's being said by those who, truly, have no idea who they really are. Knowing who we are is the most critical step. But how do we figure that out?
It's simple: to know Christ is to know your true identity. You can't just 'be yourself' without first discovering your true identity in Christ. To 'be yourself' outside of who God has called us to be is simply a case of identity theft; we're just like everyone else, going through the motions of trying to create a false image of who we think that we are. We were created for more.
But how do we live in the identity that we've been given through Christ? Galatians 5:25 says this, "Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives". That, my friends, is how we live in the identity that we have been given through Christ. We are all created unique and with a purpose. Dig deeper into God's presence to discover who He has created you to be!
