Who are you?

Who are you? That seems like a simple enough question, doesn't it? But you'd be surprised at how many people don't know who they are. Most people define themselves by their paycheck, and possessions, constantly chasing, buying, and acquiring more and more stuff and relentlessly trying to make things happen. Some define themselves by their titles and the plaques and degrees they have on their walls, as well as the number of followers they have and the number of likes they get for their social media posts, not realizing that half of the people cheering you on today don't really know you, but are only looking at the external being, which can often be quite superficial. Discovering who you truly are is not an easy task, because it necessitates solitude and discipline to silence the chatter and dismiss the questions or thoughts of others who assume "you are acting differently," but quite the contrary. When you take the time to discover your authentic self, God and you walk it alone for a moment, a season, or several seasons. This is the time to let go of pretenses and be yourself without fear of being judged or losing something or someone. This is when He reveals to you who you are and what He has planned for your life. This is when he speaks and you can hear him. When it's quiet. There will be no distractions. Are you ready? A new season has arrived. Do you have what it takes? Now is the time... Who are you?
