A customer told me of a very interesting story. She told me that she has got three cats and one dog that seem to like one another and pray together.

What has been interesting to observe is that the dog steals and eats the cats’ food. She has done this several times that along the way, she has lost her identity. She now acts like a cat! Just think about that!

No sooner had she left than my computer went on research to see if indeed at one time or the other, we human beings, have found ourselves confused as well. Here is the result of my search!

-There are people out there who think that because they walk or are friends with the rich and famous, they too are rich!
-There are adults out there who dress, talk, reason, drive, curse, and behave as though they are still teenagers
-There are people who don’t have anything and yet act as if they have it all.
-There are people who are not either teachers or pastors but they claim to be in some circles
-There are people out there who do not know a direction to a given place, but will go a head anyway and give some wrong direction
-And like Jesus once said, there are people who are blind in spiritual matters and yet claim to see.
-But perhaps the most interesting one is for those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and yet we have failed to leave the world alone. To such, there will be need to reflect on the following Passage of scripture:

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (1 John 2:15.)

Furthermore, if you have time, read John 17 to see how Jesus Prayed for His disciples to be “In this world, but not of this world!

Do you understand your identity in all ways or are you too confused?

Just a thought!
