Our true idenitity

So, as the New Year has rather rapidly graced us with his appearance, we go through the yearly "New years resolutions". Do not lie to me you all know you made one, even if you do not have one you thought about having one. Well, this year I am dedicating myself to truly start digging deep in God's word and love. My identity in Him.
With this I started thinking... the ONLY thing holding me back from being a mirrored reflection of Jesus, and doing the same works He did, is myself. I know you are all thinking of course your flesh, not that is not what I am talking. I am talking about insecurities here. In my heart I so often doubt my power to be Jesus's hands and feet. It sounds so clique but think about it. I CAN BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS! He healed hundreds, fed thousands, loved millions. That is the power that is inside that is screaming and yearning to shine through me. And the only think that has stopped me is my doubt of being capable to be like him.

Luckily, I am not the only one who struggles with this. The first sin in the garden of Eden. It was not that they ate the fruit, they ate the fruit BECAUSE they doubted their knowledge and capability to be just like God. Which is why they ate the fruit. Then when Peter walked out on the water and sank and Jesus replied "Ye of little faith" it was not that he did not have faith in Jesus. He doubted that he had the power to be like Jesus. This is an amazing calling to be like Him, the man that was perfect, who has love so passionate and so fulfilling. We can love with that love, and do all of His works! Before Jesus ascended into heaven he said you will do even greater works then I! I have to power through the Holy spirit to do greater works then Jesus. Wow, that is some power. I do not have an identify of Naomi Fowler, but an identity of Jesus, living through Naomi Fowler.

Jesus became like us. So we could be JUST like Him. Our true identity in Him. To do greater things on this earth then He did! To move mountains, to heal, to change lives. It is your calling and it is mine. Together we can be the body of Christ.

Loving through His love,
-Naomi
