I think one of the most important things about us is the way we, first, view God, but also the way we view ourselves. When you think of you, what do you think? How do you view yourself? What do other people say about you?
Being a musician, I know about struggling with thinking you are what you do. We put so much effort into what we do, we begin to think that’s who we are. This is true for every facet of life whether your a football player, CEO, a mom, a preacher or a cop. The crazy thing is, this way of thinking can go both ways. The other day I was having a chat with a guy telling him about our ministry. I began to explain how we are trying to give kids living on the street a fighting chance to get off and to meet Jesus. When he realized the target group I was talking about he said “Oh, you mean the rugby boys?!” First, rugby is the drug of choice for most street kids. Second, do you see the problem there? People identify these kids as “rugby boys” or drug users. I’ve heard the kids themselves call themselves this. It so easy to catch yourself thinking you are what you do. The CEO and the kid on the needs to know they are not their situation. You are not what you do. We know situations can change in an instant, take my word for it! God sees us as His. We are reflections of God. It’s time we start viewing ourselves as Sons and Daughters of God. We aren’t what we do or what we’ve done. We’re loved and Adopted and God sees THAT.
