What defines me or you? Is it who we hang around with or who our family is? Is it our hobbies we choose? Our past mistakes? Our past accolades? Is it who we worship or who we don’t worship? Hmmmmm… What do I want to define who I am?
My mom and dad have always been thought of well. My mom goes through her life with such grace that only those closest to her would ever know when something might be bothering her. Everyone tells me how much they love my mother and I love to hear it!!
My dad was also loved very much. When he changed his residency from Minden Louisiana to Heaven, we heard from almost every country in the world, and all of it was story after story about something my dad had done for this person or that one. My dad taught school and was a pastor. His sermons were very touching and obviously came straight from above but that really wasn’t what he is remembered for. He is remembered for what he did behind the scenes when he was not in front of a pulpit. His life mirrored, as much as humanly possible, that of Jesus Christ. No, I don’t think my daddy never sinned. He sinned every day in one way or another. What I am saying is that when those people that knew him, or knew of him, think of him and what he stood for, they think of Jesus Christ. I know without a shadow of a doubt that when my daddy got to those pearly gates of Heaven, he was welcomed in and was told, ” WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!” And he was most likely given his crown filled with jewels on it.
I wish that just being their daughter could define me but it can’t. So I have to look and figure out what defines me. Yes, it is the people I choose as my friends. Yes, it is what hobbies I choose. No, I don’t believe that it is my mistakes because I have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Those mistakes are as far from the east is to the west according to my Heavenly Father. No, I don’t believe it is my past accolades.
Most importantly, yes, I believe what defines me is who I worship. I worship The Trinity!! God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit!! That’s what I want to define who I am!!! When someone looks at me, I want them to see the face of God the Father. When someone talks about me I want them to talk about Jesus Christ. And when someone hears about me I want them to know the Holy Spirit carries me through.
If you are struggling with your definition, call out to the Father, message me, or go talk to someone that you see Jesus in. It doesn’t matter who you go to to find Jesus, just find Him because He already loves you and has already prepared the best gift of all for you and that gift is eternal life with Him.
