Identity.

Here's a Christian cliche' for you-- Find your identity in Christ.

Gah! Come on.. Seriously? Willing to bet half of these Bible drummers don't even know what that means (Includes me). I've been thinking a lot about the concept of "Identity." First off, I'm not sure I have my OWN personal identity. I tend to react based upon other peoples thoughts (basically, I do or don't do what I wanna do based on what people tell me to do). Having said this, how in the CRAP am I suppose to "lose my identity" and then "find my identity in Christ" if I don't even know what the CRAP I'm losing and finding?

Think about that. Don't just say you did. I know you didn't if you read this and it doesn't bother you. As you read me reflecting on myself, now ask yourself this-- WHO ARE YOU? Answer: You don't know either. Ever read that children's book about the little duckling called, "Who Am I?"... No? It's okay. It's been a while for me too. I've been too busy reading my bible just like every other Christian (...not).

Again.. Let's keep it brief. Who am I?... Who are you? What's "identity"? How do you lose something you don't understand, like your own identity, and then try to gain Christ's "identity"? Wild guess, but I'm pretty sure Christ's identity is prooobably harder to understand than your own insecure, sinful, pride-ridden, and UNKNOWN to you, personal identity...

Anyways, I'm out. Word to your consciousness. And by the way, God is STILL good.
