You Don't Even Know Who You Are...

I think that our problems with identity start with not even knowing what we're entitled to. Jesus promised us riches in heaven. You settle for far less if you decide that you will be poor. You are more than you have become. You are more than you have decided to be.

I watched "The Lion King" today and I got to the part where Simba's past comes back to him. He spent years running away from something he couldn't change, but that he could overcome. Rafiki comes to him and tells Simba who he really is, the son of the king. He tells Simba who he is, but he denies it. He then tells Rafiki that he is confused.

"I'm not the one who is confused. You don't even know who you are."

And if we would just understand that the past does not decide who we are then we would be able to do so much more. God decided long before you even knew yourself that you would be royalty. You have the authority to do whatever you want.

Look higher. Your vision is too small if you think you are small.

Look up and out, not in and down.
