Who am I? How many times in life are we going to ask ourselves that question and how many countless numbers of times will that answer change. The best question to ask yourself is who am I today? That way we can answer the question and go on about our day living in a way that's conducive to who we decide to be that day in that moment to fulfill completely who we think we are.
What is the difference between perpetrating a fraudulent lifestyle based on what we have seen others do, and being naturally who we are based on a combination of learned behaviors as a child and natural responses based on our God given personality?Where do we draw the line? I believe God gave us sensors natural sensors that are prone to pick up on and lean towards certain traits, and if handled incorrectly those traits can become negative or known as a character flaw and when picked up on and driven towards a God lain path those traits can become so simply put as just plain character.
How will we know what we have passions for if we have never seen things done, how would we know what we like and dislike if we can't put a face to how we feel. God's imagination is infinite but ours is limited, and we have to realize that lot's of times he puts people and situations in our lives to trigger those sensors that he gave us and allow us to have a small clue of who we might be based on how we feel in those moments. I always say "What we do is not indicative of who we are but of how we feel and what we know" to add to that I believe that how we feel is indicative of who we are.
This is why we must know God because only he can interpret correctly the situations and people that he places into our lives. When we try and interpret and process things on our own we get the language all wrong and we start to become as Marlon would say "A mutation" of who we are meant to be. Some of us may be meant to go out into the world and change it, and the world is harsh so maybe he puts us through the spiritual boot camp allowing us to be broken down and built back up and broken down and built back up, making us outgoing, outspoken, unafraid, corky, corny, crazy, just to be able to cope with world and all that comes with it. Some of us may be meant to sustain god's kingdom for the new people that are brought to it, so he makes us calm, cool ,collected, balanced, sometimes a little boring, distinguished, analytical, growing up in a life that may just lack excitement, and drama, a life to where you may never see a rock bottom, but it's okay because maybe that's what you need to keep a clear head to keep his kingdom at peace to keep his laws organized to be able to relay the stories of his glory the way he inteded them to be retold.
But if we never seek the kingdom of God then outspoken becomes a jerk, outgoing and free spirited gets ruled by sex and drugs and your emotions get eaten up, corky and corny just becomes weird and distorted, and crazy becomes harmful. If we never seek the kingdom calm and cool headed becomes unemotional and robotic, even hard to relate to.
We are all misunderstood because we first misunderstand God's language when we try and interpret it ourselves. Then we get so wrapped up that we can't even translate our own emotions to better represent who we really are. So what now?
