I recently read a devotional that has me thinking about who I am and what I live for. I will give you a little bit of my thoughts on it and hopefully you can ask yourself the same questions.
You have to start by reading John 12:23-26. After reading this passage I was posed with the question. Am I a believer or a follower? at first I thought and of course I am both I follow Jesus and Ibelieve in Jesus, then I got to thinking what does it mean to follow? The disciples were not asked to believe they were asked to follow, Luke's gospel talks about following being an act of taking up my cross and loosing my life for Jesus, have I done that? as I got to thinking more about this believing and following I put myself in a boat I wasn't thinking I was in and a boat that I don't think Jesus really wants me in. His ministry is all about being a follower and trusting HIM. Have I taken my cross? Have I gave up anything for HIM? or am I just a believer? This simple truth and simple question has got me thinking, it has be evaluating who I am and what I am to Jesus. I pray that Jesus will show me who I am and how I can move from that to what he wants me to be. I pray for you as well that God may show you who you are and what he wants you to be. Be who God wants you to be not who you want to be
