True Self

All last week God was speaking to me about identity and who I am in Christ and if I'm doing what he has called me to do. Come friday night, Ms. Tracey preached fire! She brought forward a word about true identity in Christ and doing what God has called her to do. It confirmed many things. See before I was saved,  I was looking for myself in all the wrong places. I would smoke weed, party, get drunk and do other drugs just because I didn't fully know who I was. I wanted to be a school teacher one day and the next I wanted to travel the world. So many desires were placed in my heart and because I didn't know God's plans for my life, I was trying to do things on my own. By the way, never really works out the way you want to without God by your side. But now that I have a relationship with God, I am able to understand why I like the things I like, and why I have certain desires. Little by little God reveals bits and pieces of his plan for my life. Guess what? It involves kids, traveling, preaching, snatching souls for Jesus. Life is good! And it keeps getting better. So I want to encourage all of you who don't know God and don't know who you really are, to actually take time and cry out to Jesus, He is real, He knows you, He loves you and he has perfect plans for you. And to those that do know God and are still trying to figure out who you are, don't be deceived your identity is found in Christ, draw closer to him and he will draw closer to you. The more you seek him, the more of you that you will find.
I am Me because of God!
