Live life like the lion you really are

The is something majestic about lions. You feel it every time you are next to them. They have a sense of royalty. They boasts with authority and confidence. They never doubt their God given role. 

They know who they are. They will never compromise their being for whatever reason. Not even during starvation do they lose their pride. They are lions and they know it. They roar so loud as if they don't care who their noise may upset. They do it because indeed they don't care. After all, they are the Kings of the jungle. 

If I should learn anything from them is the importance of knowing your identity. Knowing who you are. Your identity is not determined by your surroundings or circumstances. A lion knows who he is whether he is living under captivity at the Pretoria National Zoo Park or roaming around with freedom at the Kruger National Park. Your identity is given to you by God. It's your birth right. Is not a man made gift that may expiry with time nor is it a spouse's gift that may be reclaimed when love ends. 

It is important to know who you are in this life. Once you know that you realise that your circumstances are not so significant because they are subject to change. You will not be trouble by the friends that change like seasons nor the people that talk behind your back. When you know who you are you will walk and boast with pride not for what you have but for who you are. Identity gives one a sense of pride, belonging, confidence, dignity and joy. 

Be a lion today. Know who you really are in this world. Know your God given role and fulfill your purpose with pride. It's not where you are in life but who you are.... 
I know who I am in Christ. I know I'm the head and not the tail. I'm blessed going out and I'm blessed coming. Find your identity in Christ. Find your God given talent and purpose and you will live a joyful life of contentment.
