A beautiful invitation, or an exchange of the soul on our journey to restoration. There are hundreds more as we find the treasures of truth in God’s word, but this is simply a tool in my spiritual toolbox which brings alignment for the soul. I want to introduce you to a resource I’ve adapted over the years- an ‘at a glance’ handout that helps to paraphrase some key scriptural verses in the Bible that answers some of my deepest longings for love, acceptance, security and significance. This identity crises can be silenced when we embrace our new identity in Christ each and every day. The enemy of our soul will do everything to keep us from purposing or experiencing our true destiny. It’s the great adventure of the soul throughout our human experience. Many are wandering the world without a clue to who they are, why they were born, what sort of purpose might they have. How many of us are running to people, positions, material possessions, vanity, finances, success, or other temporal pursuits to define who we are? Our experiences in life try to define us- but as mentioned earlier in blog #2 on Identity, they can refine us if we let them. Not to try to sound 'manly' but I dont really cry that much, but I cried like a baby Sunday. External pressures also seek to define us too. We are continually bombarded with internal messages that seeks to distort our true identity. If you haven’t noticed, our culture is facing an identity crisis- big time. Identity Crises?Īll of us have struggled in some way shape or form of identity. Where or who do we put our hope and faith in? What is our identity? How do we view others? I’ve blogged a bit about that this summer. During the last 4 months though, it’s like God has a magnifying glass on humanity as He searches our hearts as we too are invited to search ours. Become the Messiah in ‘I Am Jesus Christ. Perform amazing miracles, interact with a cast of biblical figures and travel around the Holy Land from Jerusalem to the Galilee. For me? Identity has been a huge topic of conversation in my life and have spoke about it for nearly 20 years. Walk in the footsteps of Jesus in this incredible first-person retelling of the story of Christ from birth to resurrection. Rather than focusing on the chaos, we’d focus on the blessings that can happen if we are less about the rat race mentality and more about what really matters. During this pandemic, one of my deepest heart cries is to pray for alignment.
