Who
am I? Is this life a journey of discovering who I what to be? Or is
it a journey of discovering who God made me to be?
To
put it another way, Is it all about me? Or is it all about him? Hint:
It's all about him.
Our
culture is in the middle of an identity crisis. Bruce Jenner, now
“Caitlyn,” says we can choose our gender. Looking at the media
and the wide spread support for gay marriage, it appears the majority
of Western culture agrees with him.
Sorry,
but I'm still going to call him Bruce, and I'll use male pronouns.
Because the truth is, no matter what he's done to himself, he's still
a man. That's who God made him to be. Sorry, we can pretend we're
someone else, but we can't change who God made us to be.
While
we can find happiness in our self-made delusion, for a season at
least, lasting fulfillment is only found in who God made us to be.
That's where our identity is found. Only in intimacy with him,
pursuing the calling he put on our lives.
