Who Are You?

So many of us have no idea of who we really are or have an accurate assessment of how God sees us. We often compare ourselves to others and wish we could be like them and yet we don’t know them or their journey. We see their gifting or their ministries and long to be like them in some way, often becoming disgruntled by the slowness of growth or the revealing of our purpose. We think that working hard for the Kingdom will accelerate us into God’s given purpose, but we often are left feeling inadequate and disappointed.

But the Spirit of the Lord asks you this question today: have you really sought me and listened to my response? Have you asked me what your purpose is or even what your giftings are? Have you just relied on what others see in you or have spoken over you and not asked my opinion?

I am the God who gives to those that ask, who is found by those who seek, and I am a God who opens the door that is knocked upon. So, ask me my child, my beloved one, ask and listen, and I will show you what my purpose is for you.

Activation: Settle this today, ask the Lord what is your purpose in his Kingdom and what he has for you to do and then listen, write down what he says and make agreement with him.

Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV)

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
