How did God speak to you today?
Our true identity as children of God is the key that unlocks our divine destiny. Scripture consistently connects who we are with what we're called to do - we are chosen people meant to declare God's praises, known by God before birth to fulfill specific purposes, God's handiwork created for good works, and heirs with Christ destined to share in His glory. Yet many Christians have allowed harmful ideas to take root, becoming experts at surface-level Christianity while neglecting the deeper work of living as true sons and daughters.The stories of the Prodigal Son and Simba from The Lion King illustrate this journey perfectly. Both characters abandoned their true identities - one for wild living, the other due to shame and guilt. Both adopted a 'hakuna matata' philosophy, settling for less than they were created for. But the turning point came when they remembered who they truly were. Like them, we need moments of awakening where God reveals truth to us. The beautiful reality is that when we return to our Father, He doesn't make us earn our place back - He celebrates our return and restores us completely. Our identity is not found in what we do as servants or leaders, but in who we are as beloved children of God. When we fully embrace this truth, we can step into the destiny God has prepared for us.
