Defined by someone
In this life, do you find yourself being identified by someone who is always near you? Like when you are young, you are always identified by your parents. Then as you grow, you are always connected to your best friend, roommate, significant other. This has always been the case, always me and _____, always attached to someone, this is the revelation the Lord gave me on Friday. And now, I am just me, a Christian girl, striving to become more like Christ, finding my place in this foreign land; alone, yet completely surrounded by so many. This is the place the Lord desires for me to be secure in, to learn to walk in, to be me, a child of God, to allow that to define what others see. This is both a scary and yet really exciting place to be in, there is a lot to learn. It is a secure place to be, I know the Lord has shown me that.
I believe that no matter what He calls us to in life; ministry, singleness, parenthood, etc. we need to have this security, I am excited to gain this in my life...to be secure in who I am in Christ, who He has made me to be, His daughter. How many in this world never find this?

That's some really good insight Beka. I've often wondered how people I know well, and just sort of know would define me. Would I be a man who loves the Lord and who's identity is found in Him, or would they describe me as what I do and enjoy? Sometimes I'm afraid to know because I don't think I'd like the answer.
I would define you as a man who loves the Lord, whose heart is set on following after Him and His will for you.
When I struggle with the idea of what others think of me, I ask the Lord to help me to see myself through His eyes...there will never be a clearer vision.
Thanks Beka.
