Suffering With An Identity Crisis

more often than not we tend get in our own way more often than we undermine those things on which we have prayed we circumvent our success and miss our appointing we sabotage our calling and miss our anointing we always seem to be at the door of some opportunity but are to afraid to knock upon it with a sense of assurety Ii once went to a theater performance, unaware of where i was to sit I allowed someone to direct me and trust in my own spirit I found myself in a balcony row with my knees up to my chest but during the intermission I checked my ticket and discovered an identity crisis you get exactly what you expect when you go through life with a back-seat mentality like Caleb and Joshua who saw themselves as grasshoppers suffering from a crisis of identity incarcerated by their own fears, inner issues and inadequacies they had forgotten about the promises of God and His authority the way you see yourself might not be as others would the way you perceive yourself is a question of your attitude have no fear trust in He for Whom nothing is impossible don't suffer a crisis of identity just believe in God's gospel when you know who you are you can't be abused nor used when you know what you are there's no reason to go through life confused your inward thinking should shape your outlook and reflect how you want things done your outlook will then determine the final and ultimate outcome one time I had a hotel reservation but the room was not quite right I was given a new room on a higher floor and the told to have a good night but I had a problem I kept using the key but could not get it to work it wasn't until I realized it was the old room key and then I felt like a jerk for you can't open new doors in life with old keys still in your hand be renewed and reborn in your faith with the mentality of the promised land for faith is the key to belief in God's truths and His promises faith in knowing who and what you are without suffering an identity crisis for you can't reach your future in God's promised land if your thoughts and actions are still stuck on things that have passed you can't move forward with inferior backward thinking you're now a disciple of Christ standing firmly and not sinking so just step out of the boat with faith and you will have success and when you take that leap of faith don't suffer an identity crisis
