Have you forgotten who you are?
In this scene, a young lost-boy discovers someone he once knew through the mask of old age. Peter Panning had forgotten who he was. Peter Panning had forgotten his true identity: Peter Pan.
What is your true identity? Does your outside reflect your inside? Do your actions reflect your heart? Are you who you know God wants you to be?
I struggle with pleasing people. It bothers me like hell (hell bothers me!). I want people to like me. I want people to be pleased with what I say, what I do, and who I am. But like I said, it bothers me.
It bothers me because I often feel like I can’t be myself. I feel l can’t challenge people and systems like I feel God prompting me too. I feel held back by my desire to be liked. I feel like I can’t be myself.
To work on it, I need to open up. I need to let go. I need to be myself, and sometimes, just recognize that I serve Jesus, who had so many people unpleased with him that he was murdered for challenging people and systems. I need to be who God has called and made me to be.
Who has Jesus called you to be? Who has Jesus made you to be? Are you that person? Maybe it will take someone to help you discover it, like the lost-boy for Peter. Get around those people. Maybe it will require a lot of hard work, asking questions, and mistakes. Step up and work hard.
It’s time to rediscover who we are! It’s time we change and start hearing the words from friends, family, and Jesus … “Oh, there you are!”
For Jesus’ fame,
JK

Gotta go with “Lost!” as one of my favs from Coldplay. That song gets me pumped up when I crank it in the car on a beautiful summers day!
Thnxs for the free live cd link. Still haven’t heard them live, but would love to one day.
Whats my dream? My dream is be a part of 43,000 people throwing their hands in the air and shouting at the top of their lungs Glory to God! How amazing would that be! Too often I leave major concerts disappointed because I always wish it were Jesus everyone worshiped, not a guy or gal on stage. What fulfilled can that truly give us? Its Jesus we should praise, not because the bible says so but because he’s the one that brings true real fulfilled joy. Joy that lasts forever.
Thats my dream. Who will dream that dream with me?
