In gratefulness to be used by the one true God another week to share with you God's revelations, and at your free will choice regarding attentiveness of this sharing, this week's devotion let's take time and think primarily upon: "Your personal identity is established by the one true God in the third heaven with you given personal responsibility of functioning within this God establishment (your personal identity) remembering that your acceptance or non-acceptance is the steering wheel to this establishment". Another way you can think about your (and others) personal identity this week is in the analogy of "God is the manufacturer of your personal identity and you are the passenger that selects the direction of identity understanding that variations of your selection are still related to God the manufacturer". Think about it, in the midst of wherever you select to direct your car, the car is always there as the car in the midst of your selection. The same with your personal identity, in the midst of various selections of identity, God is always there as God and is related to all various selections. Secondly, this week let's take out time and think about whatever nature you choose to deal with your (or others) personal identity (characteristics identified within your acceptance or non-acceptance of God's establishment of personal identity) equates to how you choose to deal with (treat) God. Another way to think about this is in the analogy of "The nature you choose to steer your car (steady, jerking, straight path, crooked path, etc.) not only has a direct reflection on you but has a direct effect on the car. Again, your steering is always related to the car itself meaning your dealings with your personal identity and treatment towards other's identities directly correlate what you put God through". Please understand that I say this with the most upmost respectful emphasis on simply not forgetting that God is connected to all your thoughts and doings regarding your and others personal identities (I include others because not in all circumstances but in some circumstances -God lead, you are personally responsible in helping towards the stewardship of others personal identity. However, as a mere man, you will never be the cause of the establishment of other's identities but God can use you in some circumstances to help others discover and understand their God given personal identity.) The following biblical principles are pieces of your and other's personal identity puzzle that connects together demonstrating the true picture of your and other's identity. My hope is that peace is maintained where it already exists or calms storms, understandings bring more clarity to confusions, reassurance preserves in rooting's, and respect becomes a greater foundational attribute towards self and other's personal identities.
There are three basic components I encourage you to meditate on this week that connects the functioning (from a biblical perspective) regarding "Your personal identity is established by the one true God in the third heaven with you given the personal responsibility of functioning within this God establishment (your personal identity) remembering that your acceptance or non-acceptance is the steering wheel to this establishment. Using an analogy again for the purpose of clarity, there are three components that are interrelated within your car that function together that establishes and provides efficient transportation to your destiny (God established personal identity).) The three basic components to think upon are 1) Your personal identity was/is predestined 2) Your predestined personal identity became flesh and transparent through your physical birth (your existence - creation) which is labeled as image-likeness of God, and 3) Your predestined God imaged-likeness is achievable not ignoring variation(s) from your God imaged-likeness personal identity that are still related to God. Firstly, regarding your predestined personal identity, explained in prose and relevance not compromising the doctrine of predestination: Respectfully and truthfully said, you (or no one) has had the mental capacity to even think about their personal identity until after a certain age. In other words, at your current age now, you (or no none) do not have the ability to acknowledge occurrences of your life at the age of one or two. Well, your personal identity actually occurred before your age of one or two (in the realm of predestination) so you (or no one) had the ability to acknowledge their personal identity. All I'm attempting to accomplish is the principle of the importance of accepting the fact that your personal identity was established without your acknowledgement and remains now in existence with your personal responsibility of functioning in it (your personal identity) that can be now acknowledged.
After being mindful that your personal identity all started without your acknowledgment and establishment but now available through revelation, secondly explained in prose and relevance, it's important to be mindful that the revealing of your personal identity is established and related to God's image-likeness that's manifested transparently now in the flesh. Pinch yourself, look in the mirror at yourself, and others looking at your physical presence are acknowledgements to yourself and others that your personal identity has transferred from the realm of non-physical (predestination) to now physical (being alive and in the flesh.)
Now, being conscious of your personal identity's life cycle going through non-physical existence (predestination) to now physical existence (you being alive in the flesh), thirdly let's continue to talk in prose and relevance about your personal identity involves variations (conformity and non-conformity towards your God established personal identity) that is still related to God. In other words, in the midst of your personal identity being in the image-likeness of God, you (all) have been subject to being a witness of not reflecting the image-likeness of God not being your original fault but another's fault (the first Adam - Adam.) However, your reflective God imaged-likeness personal identity can still exist (is achievable) due to the one true God's solution to the fault (the second Adam - Jesus) with equal opportunity for you (and everyone) to have access to the equipment (the Spirit of God) that allows you (and everyone) to reflect your God established personal identity. Keep in mind, being that God has sovereignty over both your God liked image and your birthed unlike God image, God has made a way for you (and everyone) to be removed from the variation(s) of unlike God personal identity to God imaged-likeness personal identity.
In conclusion, the Holy Bible illustrates that your personal identity is impregnated with the will of God. How much have you included God in handling your personal identity? How much have you thought about God handling others personal identity? To think about your personal identity and other's personal identity excluding God is inappropriate. The goal this week inspired by God, understanding that each person has his or her free will choice of attentiveness towards this God inspiration, is to reflect on appropriate personal identity (take time and look up the below supporting scriptures to meditate upon this week.) You and your families have an amazing week and please share this devotion with others for their personal encouragements.
