In because of you one I stated that lack of trust in God is the fundamental cause for the rat race. You can check it out via https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N4o6JtaOSNWfiWRBFae8YVpTmyGWdBdm . One of my friends who read the post commented that the problem of identity is also a reason for this rat race. This means that when people do not know who they are and what they are created for, they end up running the rat race. I totally agree with him because I could now attribute the times when I have been involved in the rat race to the problem of identity.
Identity is simply who you are. It’s your distinct personality. The truth is that you are who you are for a purpose and it’s expedient that you live out who you are created to be. Clashes, stresses, strains etc and other attributes of the rat race exist when you tend to live to be another person. Rather than trying to be another person, be the best that God wants you to be. John the Baptist did not fail to let those who care to know that he was not Christ and that He was satisfied with who he is and what he is doing (John 1:19-27; 3:23-30). He made plain who he was. It’s imperative that you also know who you are not and who you are. You are unique!!! And wonderful made in his own image.
There are people that are to be blessed because of your uniqueness. You possibly will miss them if you are trying to be another person. Keep up with the way you are shaped and endeavour to be the best of who you are. You don’t have to excuse mediocrity for the sake of who you are. When you live the way God has created you, you will consequently be a channel of blessing to others. You have to be intentional about being a blessing to others. As much as it lies within your capacity, always make it your pursuit to help others.
The main reason why we help and bless others is because it is our nature not because we want others to help us in return. Our nature in Christ enables us to be channels of blessing to others. When we live out who we are, we are blessed in return. (1John 3:16-18). “And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.” (1 John 3:23). Believe in Christ and live out the life of Christ
Let’s keep praying for each other. I await your comments, questions and contributions. You can as well bless others by sharing this post.
With God, it can only get better!!!
Remain blessed.
