Who Are You?

What we are is God's gift to us...
What we become is our gift to God.
There are ..what, 6 billion people on this planet? Of those 6 billion people, every single one is created uniquely by our creator.
Who are you?
Your identity has to be wrapped up in something. Whether it is music, football, dance, video games, the outdoors, or what ever, we are defined by something or maybe even many things.
But the question is.. what defines you the most?
I tried to think about if people could look up Lexi Adams in the dictionary what would be found by my name..think about it.
I want to be defined as Lexi Adams- follower of Christ.
Surely that has something to do with my identity, right?
We often think, I grew up in church, spend my summers at a christian camp, claim to love Him on facebook and tell people I'm praying for them all the time.
Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt.
All of that is great, but that isn't enough to make myself who I want to be known as.
In order to do so I must commit to my Jesus in everything I do-
the people I spend my time with
the words that come out of my mouth
the music I listen to
the clothes I wear
the attitude I carry
the TV shows I watch
the hobbies I have
the way I take care of my body
If I am seeking God's will in everything I do, who I am will shape me into Who HE intended on me to be.
I want that to be my definition, no questions asked. I want HIM to be my identity.
Who you are should be wrapped up in something bigger than you,
bigger than school, bigger than your team, bigger than your life.
Jesus,
I give you my Christmas break. I want to spend every day learning and growing more in my understanding of your power and love so I may glorify you in all I do. Take my hand today and guide me along your path of your perfect will for my life. Show me how to love like you, and break my heart for what breaks yours. Protect my mind from Satan's false beliefs and give me your truth to replace it with. Write your words on my heart so I can win the daily battles of this world. Mold me into a servant for all I come in contact with, Make me a light that shines so brightly for YOU. I pray that you reveal to me anything in my life I have not given control of completely to you. Fill my cup to where I am overflowing with your love, joy, and peace. Give me a heart like yours. Please teach me patience and obedience. Help me seek you in every decision I make. I want people to see you, through me. I want you to be my #1 identity. Father I love you with all of my heart and all that I am. I surrender my everything to you. I want to spend everyday of this break falling more in love with you.
Your daughter,
Lexi
