Control Extinguishes the Spirit

Who are You? A simple question, but it defines a principle which needs to be the bedrock of your faith, and of your life. If one does not identify themselves by who they are, then they will spend the rest of their life attempting to gain their identity through fruitless endeavors. You will attempt to strive to “create an acceptable version of the self.” This is the place of legalism and self-depreciation.

There is a better way. Define yourself by who you are opposed to what you are or what you do. By knowing who you are first, all actions will naturally pour out of your solid identity.
