Life...Camera...Action

How many roles have you played? What different types of characters have you been? Confused? We all are I think. We are taught when we are young how to act. Whether it is in a restaurant, the grocery store, at family gatherings, in the classroom, at the dinner table, or just at the park with playmates. When we learn to be an adult, we are taught how to act in an interview, at work, at social events, on a date, at sporting events, and in front of our children. By this time, we have learned when or when not to show our tears, laughter, anger, fears, and our opinions. We have been fashioned to form ourselves to fit our surroundings so we will blend with and not offend other people who are doing the very same thing in order to blend with and not offend us. The fear of nonacceptance teams with the fear of standing out and together keep us bound behind our masks. And so goes life...the stage. Our mind's camera constantly focused on who might be standing out, hoping that it will never be ourselves. On we go, putting on our Grammy-winning performances. Here is where we can ask the age old question, "Who am I?". We are nobody and everybody. The good news is that we can be somebody unique. God created in us who He wants us to be. He designed us each differently for individual purposes. So, my challenge to you is to seek out who you are through Him. Ask Him to show you who he made you to be and give Him the opportunity to help you become that special person. If you ask, you will receive. If you seek, you will find. If you knock, the door will be opened to you. What are you waiting for? Go be YOU!
