This blog is coming at you early. It is 12:15am in Las Vegas and I am about to retire for the night before an early call to get to the airport for my flight home tomorrow. As nice as the business event has been I am more than ready to get home. One key thing has stood out to me this week being around my peers. How do we define ourselves?
In my profession it is easy because I have a resume that helps list my employment and accomplishments. I know the value I bring to dental offices and I am respected amongst my peers.
However in life it can be a bit more challenging. Especially if you have been a 'broken' individual. While I struggle still with areas of my life that God needs to touch I find it difficult to define me. How about you? Do you define yourself based on your marital status? How about children or grandchildren? Character traits? I could go on but I think you get the idea. Many different ways to define us.
I think the real problem comes when we can't see the way God defines us. This is crfitical when we move forward healed. Our ability to help others will stem from a clear definition of who we are.
Lord, may we each grow fully into the exact definition you have designed for us. As you heal our 'broken' places can we step out in the light of your vision for our lives letting the Holy Spirit guide us into a representation of your likeness. Amen
So as I wind myself up on the mountain trail I am getting more eager than ever to tackle some issues because I know how God sees me and I want to start walking in that too.
