if you ask me
WHAT YOU ARE IS,
I’m going to ask you something first…
DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
NOT YOUR NAME.
NOT WHO
LOVES YOU.
NOT WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING.
NOT YOUR ROLE.
NOT YOUR TITLE.
NOT YOUR REPUTATION.
STRIP ALL THAT AWAY AND ANSWER THE QUESTION FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
MOST MEN CAN’T
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN DECEIVED FOR A LONG TIME — BY THE WORLD, BY THEIR OWN THINKING — ABOUT WHO THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
And they've carried it long enough that they think IT’S them.
THAT SILENCE AFTER THE QUESTION?
THAT’S WHERE
“you are”
starts.
“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 SAMUEL 16:7
SIMPLY PUT:
GOD DOESN’T START WITH YOUR TITLE. HE STARTS FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
