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
