Rise to your identity.

So work has opened my eyes to a lot of things that I doubt myself on and the restrictions I put myself under. And one night when I was attempting to remind myself where I stand, this came out.  And well, Jesus' way of life is just so much better then anything I can imagine.  

You spend your whole life worrying.

And it doesn’t get you anywhere.

You spend your whole life plotting and planning,

And you just wave as life passes you by with out actually living it.

You never worry about yourself.

You only worry about the people you love.

You worry so much, you make yourself sick.

And it doesn’t get you anywhere.

Why do you forget that life was made to be lived?

Why do you forget that life was made for the struggle?

Why do you forget that you are not alone?

Why does the anger from the past control you to the point of exhaustion?

Why is it impossible for you to let go?

Why do you set limits for yourself?

Why do you let fear and shame control your actions and the direction and ferocity of your love??

Is it not said that you live with the Breath of Life guiding your very actions?

Is it not true that your identity is not defined by you actions but by your creator?

Can you not live your life in the wastefulness of grace?

Can you not remember the promise of forgiveness?

It stares at you in the eye, pleading for you to just catch a glimpse of it.

These burdens are not yours.

Forgive them.

These worries are not yours.

Accept the gift of grace.

This sickness, is a lie.

Release it as such.

This fear is not of God.

Forbid it’s existence.

You are a child of the one true God.

You are a child of the creator.

You walk in the footsteps of a spirit so vast, you can not comprehend it’s dimensions.

May Peace be with you.

Grace pour over you.

Forgiveness drowned you.

And courage and adventure be the spirit coursing through your veins.
