DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

Last Friday was "Storybook Character Dress-Up Day" at school. As I was going in the building, Marcus (name change! :) ) was coming in also. Marcus is a precious little boy who happens to have a mental disability. He was dressed in regular clothes, but immediately shouted out to me, "I a cowboy!" I said, "Wow! Marcus, that is awesome!" To which he responded, "Yeah, I ride a horse!" I again told him how excited I was for him and that he was a great cowboy. We walked down the hall in silence for a few minutes then all of a sudden out of nowhere he yelled out, "HeeHaw!" It was one of the most precious things I have ever witnessed!

I know that I was there to be the teacher, but the Lord pulled me into His classroom for a moment where He asked me several questions. He has told me in His Word that I am a "Daughter of the King." Am I as confident of my identity as Marcus was? Marcus had convinced himself that he was a cowboy for the day, with or without the outfit to prove it. There would have been no changing his mind about the matter! He even acted like a cowboy. He was living out his belief about who he was!

Do you believe what God says about you or do you tend to let satan and the world label you? Do you speak truth to yourself and agree with who God says you are? Do you exhibit the behaviors that go along with being royalty? Ladies, it's time that we proclaim with our mouths and live out with our lives the role that God has placed us in. He has written each of us into a story, His story, and let me tell you that it does have a happy ending and you are the object of His affection in this one!!

I love you sister!
