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. Rachel Dolezal says
we can choose our race. She switched from white to black.
Western
culture, by and large, didn't agree, and pressured her to resign her
position at the NAACP. But the culture largely supported Bruce
Jenner's transformation into Caitlyn. That's schizophrenic – any
argument supporting “Caitlyn” Jenner also supports Rachel
Dolezal.
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.
